Smoked Sausage Tomato Sauce

1 sm onion, sliced
8 crimini mushrooms, sliced
8 oz smoked sausage, in half-moons
10 basil leaves, chiffonade into ribbons
3 cups leftover roasted tomato soup or favorite jarred tomato sauce
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

For Garnish (optional):
basil pesto
truffle oil

Preheat a large pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot add the sausage to the pan. Cook the sausage over medium high heat, tossing occationally, until the sides have caramelized and the fat has rendered out, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions to the pan. Saute the onions for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Add the crimini mushrooms to the pan. Continue to saute the onions and mushrooms for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent.

Add the browned smoked sausage and leftover tomato soup to the pan. Stir to combine. Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until the sauce has thickened, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes. Once the sauce has thickened, add the basil ribbons. Stir to combine. Taste the sauce and season as necessary with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss the sauce with al dente pasta of your choice. Garnish with basil pesto and truffle oil. Enjoy!
