Mimma Diana’s Fennel Sausage Ragù

This recipe is from the co-owner and chef of Vine Restaurant in Brisbane, Australia. Puglia-born Mimma Diana talented it to me after I interviewed her for the Original Farm Village News closing month.

To win the ideal results my strategies are: sort earlier than you salt as your sausage mince may well even be salty ample, as Mimma warned the sauce did dry out over the hour so I stuffed the empty tomato can with tap water and historic that to prime it up, seeing as the recipe very top requires half of a cup of white wine begin a bottle you’d deserve to drink (I historic a medium-priced Sauvignon Blanc). The ragù works easiest served over pillowy gnocchi nonetheless you would strive pappardelle or orecchiette and for a punch of freshness sprinkle with leftover basil leaves earlier than serving. —Annabelle Chapple
