Ingredients

400 g Sausage meat or sausages Remove sausages from casing
2 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 Onion Diced
1 Celery Stick Diced
2 Carrots Diced
2 tbsp Tomato puree
4 sprigs Rosemary Finley chopped
2 cloves Garlic Minced

400 g Tinned tomatoes

Instructions

Remove the sausages from their casing.
In a hot pan with a little olive oil, add the sausage meat. Break it apart and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon. Fry until it starts to crisp at the edges, then remove and set aside.
Turn the heat down to medium. Add a little more olive oil to the pan. Then add onion, celery and carrot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add rosemary and garlic. Cook for a further couple of minutes.
Add tomato puree. Stir well and cook for a further minute.
Pour in red wine. Let the mixture bubble until the liquid is reduced by half.
In the slow cooker, combine the contents from your pan with the fried sausage meat. Add tinned tomato and stir well.
Cook for 3-4 hours on high, or 7-8 on low.
Ahead of the slow cook finishing, cook some pasta of your choice.
Stir the pasta in with the slow cooker mix. Top with parmesan and parsley, and serve.
