Method

Step 1

Pulse onion, carrots, celery and garlic in food processor until very finely diced (or chop by hand).

Step 2

Sauté the mixture in olive oil over a medium high heat in a large pan. When starting to brown, add sausage meat, then beef, ensuring both are well cooked through. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add in red wine and bring to boil, then add Italian herbs.

Step 3

Pure the tinned tomatoes in food processor and add to the pan. Add the strained tomatoes/passata. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for up to 4 hours. Add seasoning to taste.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.

Step 5

Serve sugo on top of cooked Catelli Smart^® Penne or pasta of choice (spaghetti also works really well with the sugo).
