In a 4-litre Dutch oven or large skillet, heat 7 millilitres olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage from the pan and set aside.

Pour in white wine and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan, until almost fully evaporated.
04 -
Add diced tomatoes with juices, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Return browned sausage to the pan along with the chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.

# Notes:

For deeper flavour, allow the sauce to simmer longer before combining with noodles. Adjust wine quantity for a richer reduction if preferred.
