For a deeper flavor, brown the sausage in the skillet before parboiling. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat. Fresh herbs, such as basil and oregano, can be substituted for dried herbs for an even more vibrant flavor. Use about 3 times the amount of fresh herbs as dried. A splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar added towards the end of the simmering time can brighten the sauce. Serve with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese and a side of garlic bread.
