coarsely cut tomatoes, salt and pepper and leave it simmer for about 10 minutes.
At the same time, cook your servings of pasta (in a lot of salted water), drain them and pour them in the skillet of sauce. Add a 250 grams of mozzarella cut in small chunks, a little of basil and a hint of oregano. Finish this recipe by sizzling at a medium heat for a minute and serve!
Several Italian specialties and recipes are prepared with rice and sausage. For example; sizzle an onion in butter and add 350 grams of rice. Cut 3 sausages into small pieces, add them to your skillet and let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over 2dl of red wine, simmer for a while and incorporate 1 litter of chicken broth (add it slowly until the rice is fully cooked).

Place them in a blender with olive oil, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Once you are done, just pour your sauce over some hot pasta and sprinkle a little of parmesan on your plat. That's it! Italian cooking is simple and very flavourful, enjoy!
