Italian Sausage Sauce

Can only six ingredients make a truly memorable pasta? Absolutely with Victoria Sande’s Italian Sausage Sauce. Start with fresh Italian sausage from a local maker. We love Parma Sausage in the Strip District, a neighborhood of Pittsburgh known for its Italian grocery stores. The rest is so easy you’ll be making this dish as often as you can.

What Makes Italian Sausage Special? 

Italian sausage is different than the ordinary sausage you find at the grocery store because of its seasoning. Fennel, and sometimes additional anise, gives it its characteristic herbaceous taste combined with the rich body of the meat. Different regions of Italy may also incorporate their own spices into the unique Italian sausage technique. This Italian sausage sauce combines that fennel and meat flavor profile with rich, juicy tomatoes for a deeply satisfying sauce to combine with any pasta.
