Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Peel the onion, carrot, and celery, then finely chop them along with the basil stems (set the leaves aside).
Step 2
Place a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil, then squeeze the sausage meat into the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as you go. Sauté for 2 minutes, then add the fennel seeds, oregano, chili flakes, and rosemary leaves.
Step 3
Add the chopped vegetables and basil stems, then peel and finely grate the garlic. Cook for 10 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Pour the balsamic vinegar into the skillet and let it bubble and reduce slightly.
Step 5
Crush the tomatoes with clean hands and add them to the skillet, then add a cup of water and the larger basil leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes or until thickened.
Step 6
About 10 minutes in, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving a full cup of the cooking water.
Step 7
Add the pasta to the skillet, drizzling in a little of the reserved cooking water if needed. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Grate the parmesan cheese, sprinkle with the remaining basil leaves, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
