EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use beef broth for the red wine.

Always cook pasta uncovered at a fast and continuous boil with plenty of water. This ensures that the pasta will be cooked evenly and won't stick together.

I doubled this sauce and my family enjoyed. I also simmered longer to reduce so sauce wasnt to runny. We all enjoyed very much. Like all sauce this was better the next day. While simmering I thought more salt was needed. I am sure that was because of the kind of tomatoes I was using. I will be making this again. Next time I want to make sure I have a good cheese for a topping.

My husband liked it, but I thought it was so-so.... The, sausage flavor was a little strong for me since I don't care for italian sausage. I would also suggest using a different noodle... like a small pasta shell, those large rigatoni noodles are just difficult to cook to the right tenderness. Also, be sure and saute the celery and onion long enough so that it is nice and soft. I was getting slightly crunchy celery and it didn't blend well with the otherwise soft ingredients.

Great hearty Sauce! I added more ground fennel to increase the presence of the Italian sausage. The family loved it
