Plenty of fresh garlic and sweet Vidalia onion complement spicy Italian sausage in this dish. It comes together in just over 30 minutes! Enjoy this thick pasta sauce over sturdy pasta: we like it with cheese ravioli, but it goes well with rigatoni or fettuccine as well.
This would make an excellent layer of lasagna filling, too!
