An Italian-style pasta sauce featuring fresh chorizo sausage that is a family favourite!
   
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 chilli (optional)
2-3 fresh chorizo sausages
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine
1 teaspoon sugar
800g tinned diced tomatoes (or 1 litre of bottled tomatoes)

2. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté garlic and chilli for 1 minute or until the garlic turns yellow.
