Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large, tall, pot cover the bottom with about an inch of olive oil. (The more olive oil, the more the flavor will be distributed throughout the sauce). Heat on medium-low until slightly sizzling. (If temperature is too high, the garlic will burn too quickly).
  2. Add the onions and garlic and cook until onions are clear and soft and the garlic is a light brown, stir frequently so garlic doesn't burn.
  3. Add the hot and sweet sausage in separate little 1/4-inch balls and cook until browned, adding more olive oil as needed so that it doesn't burn, but still becomes brown.
  4. Add hand-crushed tomatoes, rind of Parmesan cheese, Emeril's Essence, and tomato paste. Stir. Turn down heat to a low simmer.
  5. Cover and let simmer for 1-4 hours. stirring occasionally. (The longer it simmers, the better the taste!).
  6. Serve over any kind of pasta. Top with freshly-grated Parmesan.
