Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Yes, this sauce can be prepared in advance. It actually benefits from sitting for a day, as the flavors meld together. Simply reheat it on the stovetop before serving. You can also make a larger batch and freeze it for future meals.
What can I use instead of fresh tomatoes?
If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can substitute canned diced tomatoes. Drain them slightly to avoid excess liquid in the sauce. Alternatively, you can use tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Is this sauce spicy?
The level of spice in this sauce depends on the type of sausage you use. Regular sausage is not spicy, but if you prefer a kick, opt for hot or spicy sausage varieties. You can also add red pepper flakes to the sauce for additional heat.
