This Sausage and Mushroom Ragu would really have to be one of the tastiest things I have ever made that only has 6 – YES 6 – ingredients! And all in one pot!
The combination of red wine and tomatoes makes such a rich sauce you won’t be able to get enough of it – I have served it here with Oven Baked Polenta which is literally BAKED IN THE OVEN!! so you don’t need to stir it constantly – yay! And it won’t spit at you – double yay!
