Step 1

Brown the sausage in a large pan and drain excess grease, leaving about a tablespoon behind in the pan.

On low heat, add the garlic, onion and spices to the meat in the pan and sauté 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, cooking on medium-high heat for 10 min, covered. Remove from the heat once and stir- there should be some browning on the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Off the heat, add the wine to deglaze the pan, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Return to medium-high heat, partially covered for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add fresh basil, honey and olive oil to finish.
