Prepare your veggies. Peel and cut the carrot; do the same with the onion; and if you have celery on hand, add a stalk as that makes the soffritto nicer.
Sauté the vegetables in 2 tablespoons Belmorso EVOO for about 10 minutes.
Then remove the sausage casing and break into pieces in the same pot with the vegetables. Mix, add the thyme (about half a teaspoon) and leave to cook at low heat for another 10 minutes.
Next, add the red wine, mix and leave to evaporate.
It's time to add your polpa - chopped tomatoes, mix everything, cover with a lid, and leave it to simmer for 30 minutes.
After 20 minutes, boil the water for your pasta with plenty of salt.
Add the pappardelle to cook, following the packaging instructions.
Drain, and transfer back to your pot. Add the sausage cacciatore sauce, mix well, and serve.
Top with grated parmesan, or not, and enjoy.
