Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 or 5 sweet Italian sausages, preferably fennel-flavored
1/2 clove garlic, peeled
1 small- or 1/2 medium-size yellow onion
1 rib celery
1/2 medium-size carrot
1 ounce dried funghi porcini mushrooms
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes
1 sprig fresh rosemary, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Gently saute sausages until thoroughly cooked and browned. Remove sausages and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, chop together garlic, onion, celery and carrot to make a battuto. When sausages are done, add battuto to the pan and saute gently until vegetables are soft.
  • While vegetables are cooking, place mushrooms in a bowl and add hot water to cover. Set aside to soak for at least 20 minutes.
  • Drain tomatoes, reserving juice. Add tomatoes to vegetables in saucepan; raise heat and cook rapidly, breaking up tomatoes with a fork. Add rosemary or thyme, turn down heat and cook gently 20 to 30 minutes, until tomato sauce thickens. If necessary, add a little reserved juice to keep sauce from sticking.
  • Remove mushrooms from the bowl, but do not discard the soaking water. Rinse mushrooms under running water from tap; chop coarsely and add to tomato sauce. Strain the soaking water through a fine-mesh sieve or a paper coffee filter directly into the sauce. Mix well. Taste sauce and add salt, if necessary, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Slice sausages into 1/2-inch slices and add to the sauce, mixing well. Just before serving, remove rosemary sprig, if used. Serve over hot polenta mush or toasted or sauteed polenta slices.

This recipe is too expensive. I can't afford to buy all of the ingredients.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The sausage and mushrooms are cooked together in a flavorful sauce that's perfect for pasta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up. The sauce is also very easy to make.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The sauce is so flavorful and the mushrooms add a nice earthy flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This sausage and wild mushroom sauce is a winner! The flavors are rich and complex, and the sauce is incredibly versatile. I served it over pasta, but it would also be great on polenta or mashed potatoes.
