   Add the onions and garlic and cook until onions are clear and soft and the garlic is a light brown, stir frequently so garlic doesn't burn.

3. 3

   Add the hot and sweet sausage in separate little 1/4-inch balls and cook until browned, adding more olive oil as needed so that it doesn't burn, but still becomes brown.

4. 4

   Add hand-crushed tomatoes, rind of Parmesan cheese, Emeril's Essence, and tomato paste. Stir. Turn down heat to a low simmer.

5. 5

   Cover and let simmer for 1-4 hours. stirring occasionally. (The longer it simmers, the better the taste!).

6. 6

   Serve over any kind of pasta. Top with freshly-grated Parmesan.
