Ingredients

  • 5 hot Italian sausages
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 carrots
  • 2 onions
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 ounce fresh basil leaf
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 1 cup fat free low sodium broth

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Put sausages in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil Sausage until almost cooked through. (Tip: Poke holes in sausage so they will not explode scalding water on you when pierced)
  2. Place sausage, carrots, garlic and onions in food processor and combine until diced into small pieces.
  3. In a large skillet on medium high heat add your olive oil. Place contents of your food processor into the skillet and saute for about 15 minutes. You want to get the meat a little brown and caramelize onions. Let those flavors out!
  4. Roughly slice up your basil leaves and add those in now as well. Then you can add in your pumpkin, wine and chicken broth as well as those spices. Can you smell the awesomeness happening here?! Oh you will! It is an amazing sweet and savory smell and you will think you are in food heaven, no you did not die you just made a foodgasm!
  5. Stir and let this masterpiece simmer for another 10 minutes.
