pici alla salsiccia e funghi -From the NY potluck dinner

• EVOO
  
• onions
  
• garlic
  
• sweet Italian sausages, casings removed and meat crumbled
  
• wild mushrooms
  
• Pomi chopped tomatoes (for the tomato sauce, I used 1 and 1/2 boxes, reserving the half box to be used directly in this dish)
  
• dried thyme (Lorenza suggests using marjoram)
  
• salt
  
• pepper
  
• basic tomato sauce (above)
  
• tomato/onion pulp (above)
  
• red wine
  

Saute onions and garlic in EVOO. Add sausages, season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until sausages are browned. Deglaze with a splash of red wine. Add wild mushrooms. Add tomato sauce, adjust seasoning, cover and reduce heat, simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato pulp and reserved chopped tomatoes. Add thyme (or marjoram if using). Adjust seasoning. Simmer uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until volume of sauce has reduced by a little under half. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Meanwhile, prepare pasta and then combine directly in saucepot.
