Ingredients

1/2 pound sweet Italian sausages
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup leftover walnut sauce from braised endives (see recipe) or 1/4 cup beef gravy, or strong brown stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
Pepper and salt to taste

Steps:

Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 5 minutes. Skin immediately and cut into bite-size pieces.
Saute the onion in the butter over medium heat until it is soft and golden. Add the sausage pieces and saute for 3 to 5 minutes longer. Add the remaining liquids and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is well reduced and slightly thickened.
Add pepper and salt to taste and serve over hot, drained pasta with grated Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 portions.
