Toni On New York!

Beatrice Tosti from Il Bagatto is one of the best Italian cooks I have ever encountered. And for me to say that , is a BIG deal because while I take all food seriously, don’t mess with the Motherland.

Here it is for 6 hungry people:

6 sweet sausage
4 spicy (adjust ratio depending on taste)
1 purple onion
4 shallots
fresh rosemary
fresh thyme
sea salt
pepper
red pepper flakes
2 vine ripened tomatoes
1 can San Marzano tomatoes.

1. remove sausage casing and rip off chunks (no exact science here)
2. fry them up in a little olive oil.
3. once they are crusty, add chopped shallots and onion
4. fry ‘em up until they soften
5. add a little salt and pepper if you feel like it
6. add a generous splash of white wine and scrape caramelization from the bottom of pot with wooden spoon/spatula
7. add 2 fresh chopped tomatoes, sprig of thyme (you can pull out twig later), chopped rosemary and let cook for 10 minutes: add red pepper flakes if you like it hot!
8. add a can of crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano packed in Italy. you can find these in most grocery stores!

Allow to cook another 15 minutes and pour over pasta. Add fresh parmiggiano reggiano and Buon Appetito!

SO EASY, SOOOOO GOOD!
