1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (you can use more if you like spicy)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional or adjust to suit heat level)
2 -3 carrots, peeled and cut into about 1/2-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped

3 cups whole canned tomatoes, finely chopped (I use one 28-ounce can of whole tomatoes, drained then chop the tomatoes)

1/3 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

12 ounces penne pasta
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)

1
In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat.
2
Add in the sausage meat, garlic, oregano and pepper flakes; saute until brown, breaking up the meat with a fork (about 7 minutes).
3
Add in finely chopped carrots, onion and celery; saute for about 10 minutes.
4
Mix in chopped tomatoes; reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Add in 1 cup broth and wine; simmer uncovered until liquid is slightly reduced (about 20 minutes).
6
Add in the fresh basil; cover and simmer until the veggies are very tender, stirring occasionally.
7
Continue to simmer for about 45-50 minutes, adding in more broth by about 1/4 cup if the liquid evaporates to quickly, and cook until the Ragu thickens to desired consistency.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just firm-tender; drain but reserve about 1/2 cup cooking water.
10
Return the pasta to the pot; add in the Ragu; mix to combine.
11
Add in about 1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 2-3 tablespoons olive oil; mix to combine.

If the mixture seems too dry then add in some of the reserved cooking water from the pasta.
