Mimma Diana'S Fennel Sausage Ragù

1. 1

   In a large heavy-based saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions and garlic, cook until translucent; about 7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add sausage meat, breaking it up into crumbly pieces using a spoon, cook for about 10 minutes until browned.

3. 3

   Stir in white wine, once it's reduced add tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   The sauce needs to cook uncovered for around 1 hour; if it's looking dry add water (or chicken stock if you have it). The oil will rise to the top when the sauce ready - Mimma says that's the secret to all good ragu.

5. 5

   Serve over fresh gnocchi or pasta of your choice.
