Cooking Steps
Sautéing the Base
Begin by heating an 8-quart pot over medium heat and adding olive oil. The bulk sausage goes in next; browning is important for flavor, but don't worry if you don’t achieve a deep brown crust. Flipping the sausage helps it cook evenly. Once browning occurs, consider using a meat masher to break it apart and remove it from the pot, leaving behind the flavorful fat.
