When you need crumbled Italian sausage (like I did for this pasta sauce) why squeeze it out of casings when you can make it fresh in under ten minutes? As with most recipes on the site, it’s made with ingredients you’ve probably already got in the pantry. If you want to kick up the flavour a bit, toast whole fennel seeds and grind them in place of the standard ground fennel. Finely chop or grate a couple cloves of fresh garlic to take that up a notch. You can make it spicy by adding a gram or so of chili flakes as well. Have some fun and make it your own!
