Ingredients

8 Johnsonville® Mild Italian Sausage links (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup sliced celery
2 tablespoons minced fresh celery leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
2 cups water
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons browning sauce, optional
1 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

In a large kettle or Dutch oven, cook sausages over medium heat in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink; remove and set aside.
In the same kettle, saute onion, chopped green pepper and celery until tender. Stir in celery leaves, parsley and garlic; saute for 2 minutes. Add the next 12 ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Return sausage to kettle; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
