Italian Sausage with Fresh Tomatoes over Pasta
I make this all the time in the summer, using fresh tomatoes from the garden. It is one of my favorites. If you don’t like spicy omit the hot Italian Sausage and just use all mild.
3 links of mild Italian Sausage
2-3 links of hot Italian Sausage
1/4 cup of red wine. I use what ever I happen to be drinking while cooking this fabulous meal!
4 cloves of fresh garlic chopped or 2 teaspoons of minced garlic from a jar
1 small can of black olives
6 large fresh tomatoes rough cut
1/8 – 1/4 cup of fresh basil chopped. I personally like a lot of basil
Feta cheese
In a large pan cook sausage in about 1/4 cup of water. Turn to brown an all sides. Cook about 20 min over medium to high heat. Remove sausage from pan and deglaze pan with red wine. Slice sausage and return to pan, add garlic and tomatoes. Cook till tomatoes are tender. Add black olives, basil and simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve over pasta of choice and top with feta cheese
