We've made this so many times that I am finally going to make my own post out of it. This is based off of The Deen Brothers (local) but there are tons of small changes.

Ingredients

Main

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1-2 bell peppers, chopped (red or green)
• 1 carton mushrooms, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Olive oil as needed
• 1/2 - 1 pound Italian chicken or turkey sausage
  • Casings removed or buy loose
• 4 cups chicken broth (or alternative)
• 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce (see note)
  • Or use more sauce and reduce the broth
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp Low sodium soy sauce

Options

• Any other spices (garlic powder, Italian seasonings, etc)
• Some anchovy paste
• 4 ounces pasta/starch of some kind
  • Broken lasagna noodles
  • Any other pasta
  • Alternative: Use some diced potatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese or any kind of mozzarella

Instructions

In a dutch oven or heavy pan, sauté onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. Use some salt as you go. Separately sauté and chop the sausage. When the vegetables are finished and the sausage is browned (8-10 minutes), combine into the dutch oven.

Add the remaining "main" ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for ~20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

If adding pasta, uncover and cook pasta (or potato) until cooked.

Stir in remaining ingredients and serve

Sauce Note

Early 2023 Update: We've stopped using Delallo and instead moved to Rao's Tomato Sauce. While expensive, Rao's is really, without a doubt, the best. Super simple ingredients and just so much flavor. I don't know how they do it!

The original recipe calls for any tomato sauce. However, as we discovered on 2015-10-09, the Delallo Vodka sauce is particularly good. The nutritional information is comparable (or lower) to any other sauce and this is really good. It is pictured below . Pictures front^{[full size]} and back^{[full size]}

Updates / Changes:

• 2017-02-25: Fixed typo on mushrooms
• 2017-11-03: Anchovy Paste
• 2022-02-03: Can replace some broth with more sauce
• 2023-02-15: Use Rao's Tomato Sauce
