• 2 red onions, chopped
• Olive oil
• 6 spicy Italian sausages
• 1 sprig rosemary (needles finely chopped)

Directions

1. Fry chopped red onions with a splash of olive oil in a deep frying pan, then add the sausage meat (discarding casings if needed), finely chopped rosemary, and diced red chilli.
2. Increase the heat and break up the sausage meat with a wooden spoon until browned, pour in the red wine to reduce by half, then stir in the chopped tomatoes and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes while cooking the penne pasta according to packet instructions.
