  Now add in the garlic and tomatoes and let them simmer. Keep the stove on heat for 30-45 minutes and let it cook without any lid on. The sauce should reduce a little. If you want the tomatoes to be smoother, take a wooden spoon and mash the tomatoes when the sauce is simmering.

  Side by side, cut the sausage. Take some olive oil in a different skillet and brown the sausage in it. When it is browned, remove it from heat. Then drain the sausage and put it on the side. Meanwhile, when the sauce has been cooked, take it off from the heat and put it in a food processor to make it into a puree form, this will make it smooth. Put the sauce in batches in the processor.
