Directions:
1. Prick sausage with fork or toothpick on all sides. In saucepan, add small amount of olive oil and brown the sausage all over. Remove sausage from pan.
2. Add 3 cans of tomato paste with 2 cans water per paste can; add tomato puree with 2 cans water. Mix together to dissolve the tomato paste.
3. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil on low to medium heat. After boil has been reached, add the sausage back to the pan and let simmer 4 to 5 hours. If the sauce begins to thicken, just add more water.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is a combination of Grandma and Grandpa DiSalvatore's input, as well as my own. Grandma used to like to use chuck roast; she would brown it first and then add to the sauce and let it simmer for part of the day. I usually double the recipe and freeze the leftovers.
