Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil
12 oz italian sausages, casings removed (can use more )
1 -2 tbsp fresh minced garlic
2 tsp red pepper flakes (you can use more if you like spicy )
1 tsp dried oregano (optional or adjust to suit heat level)
2 -3 carrots, peeled and cut into about 1/2-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery, finely chopped
3 cups whole canned tomatoes, finely chopped
1 cup chicken broth ( more if needed)
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
12 oz penne pasta
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)

Directions:

In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat.
Add in the sausage meat, garlic, oregano and pepper flakes; sauté until brown, breaking up the meat with a fork (about 7 minutes).
Add in finely chopped carrots, onion and celery; sauté for about 10 minutes.
Mix in chopped tomatoes; reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in 1 cup broth and wine; simmer uncovered until liquid is slightly reduced (about 20 minutes).
Add in the fresh basil; cover and simmer until the veggies are very tender, stirring occasionally.
Continue to simmer for about 45-50 minutes, adding in more broth by about 1/4 cup if the liquid evaporates to quickly, and cook until the Ragu thickens to desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just firm-tender; drain but reserve about 1/2 cup cooking water.
Return the pasta to the pot; add in the Ragu; mix to combine.
Add in about 1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 2-3 tablespoons olive oil; mix to combine.
If the mixture seems too dry then add in some of the reserved cooking water from the pasta.
Season with more salt and pepper.
Divide on plates and top with more cheese.
