Directions

Step 1

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the crushed tomatoes, dry white wine, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage links to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 9

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).

Step 10
