Pasta with Sausage Marinara Sauce

Boil a pot of water – enough to cover the depth of your pasta. Add pasta to boiling water and simmer till al dente. After draining pasta, toss with a little olive oil to keep pasta from sticking.

For the sauce:
Empty the 2 cans of diced tomatoes into a food processor and go get your garlic. Break out 3 cloves of garlic. Add the garlic to the tomatoes in the food processor and punch it for about 20 seconds. Maybe 15. We don’t want it as smooth as sauce. Leave it a little chunky.

Dice up about a 1/4 cup of red onion. Add the red onion to a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Saute over medium heat till the onions are just turning a toasted brown on the edges. Then pour them into a pot with the tomatoes from the food processor and stir often.

Unwrap the sausage and dice it fine. Saute for about 8 minutes on high, tossing often. Then add it to the tomato sauce. Dice the basil leaves and the red bell pepper and add to the tomato sauce. Add your dried thyme and oregano and the rosemary.

Top pasta with sauce and serve.
