Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 500 g of Italian fresh sausage without herbs or spices
  • 100 g of onion, yellow or white
  • 30 g of butter
  • 30 g of olive oil
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 70 g of red wine
  • 120 g of milk
  • 20 g of tomato paste
  • 300 ml of stock, meat or vegetable

Instructions

  • Remove the skin, finely crumble the sausage with your hands, and set aside.
  • Remove the skin, finely chop the onion, and set aside.
  • In a pot, gently melt the butter in the olive oil, add the onion and a pinch of salt, and sauté on a medium stove and low flame for 8 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and sauté on low flame for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the wooden spoon to make the sausage pieces even smaller; its grain should be fine.
  • Turn up the stove flame, add the wine, and let it evaporate for a few minutes while stirring.
  • Then turn the heat down, add milk, tomato paste, and stir.
  • Cover the pan with a lid, not completely, and cook slowly and long, about an hour and a half, stirring occasionally and adding broth during cooking. The sauce has to be reduced but not dry.
  • Taste, adjusting the salt if needed.

Food tips

  • If the sausage still seems too coarse, at the end of the cooking, use the immersion blender to pulse here and there for a moment and stop.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
