Steps:
- Using a fork, pierce the sausages thoroughly and cook them in a large pot filled with ½-inch of water for about 20 minutes. When the water evaporates, fry the sausages in their own fat for another 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. Place them on a paper towel to drain.
- Remove the fat from the pot, add olive oil and onions, then cook, covered, for about 25 minutes on low heat. Next, add the peppers, uncover the pot and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the tomato sauce, water, wine, and oregano then season with salt, pepper, and red chiles to preference. After bringing it to the boil, leave the liquid to simmer for half an hour, partially covered. In the meantime, slice the sausages into ½-inch thick rounds. After 30 minutes have passed, add the sausages and the fennel seeds into the pot, then cook all together, uncovered, for another 20 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain.
- Add the basil and chopped garlic to the sauce, cook for another 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over hot pasta, garnish with cheese, and optionally thyme.

Steps:
- In a medium (10-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the garlic has softened and is lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, place them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until they're roughly chopped. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the food processor and pulse again to chop the garlic. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot with the olive oil, add the fennel, red pepper flakes, red wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste for seasonings (it will be very spicy!), and keep warm over very low heat.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the penne and cook according to the directions of the package.
- Two minutes before the pasta is al dente, using a wire or spider strainer, lift the pasta out of the boiling water and add it to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Spoon the pasta into low shallow bowls, sprinkle with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use good quality sausage: The better the sausage, the better the sauce will be. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and has a good flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness: The amount of red pepper flakes you add to the sauce is up to you. If you like your food spicy, add more flakes. If you prefer a milder dish, use less.
- Serve with a side of bread or pasta: This dish is perfect for dipping bread or serving over pasta. If you're serving it with pasta, be sure to cook the pasta al dente so that it still has a little bite to it.
- Garnish with fresh parsley: A sprinkling of fresh parsley adds a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish.
