Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
Gluten Free Italian Sausage Ragu is one of those dishes that will help you ease into a cold winter, I love to cook hearty meals to feed my family. Its so simple to create and even easier to eat! I love the sauce bubbling away with the sausages naturally bringing the flavour together. I cook this at least once a week for my kids, who will eat this pasta cold from the fridge.
With just 5 ingredients, you have no excuse not to cook this family friendly gluten free dish. You can choose any sausages you like, however, I would recommend cooking with italian or pork sausages for the right flavour. A dash of red wine will enrich the sauce to the next level and a handful of parmesan will create a taste of italy!
Enjoy this cheats meal!
