Preparation
In a large pot over medium high heat, saute diced red onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir minimally.
Add spices and stir to coat. Add olive oil as needed until a loose paste forms. Saute until fragrant.
Add ground Italian sausage and mix into onion mixture and saute for 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Saute for 3 minutes.
Deglaze pan with red wine (add the red wine to the pot and use the liquid to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan). Add sliced Italian sausage, stir to combine, saute for 3 minutes.
Add tomato sauce and stir to combine. Lower heat to medium low, and cover. You want the sauce to be bubbling slightly.
Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over your favorite pasta and top with Parmesan cheese.
