Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, dry herbs and pinches of crushed red pepper to taste. Add back sausages and cook to finish sausages and marry sauce.

Serve over pasta, or place the sausage on a demi baguette and smother with onions, peppers and sauce. Garnish fresh chopped basil, oregano Italian parsley. Also great over grilled or soft polenta.
Serves 4-6.
