  • Batch cook & freeze: This ragu freezes well—double the batch and store leftovers for up to 3 months.
  • Choose the right sausages: Look for plain pork sausages with no added garlic, onion, or wheat fillers.
  • Swap the protein: Try using chicken sausages, ground turkey, or even lentils for a vegetarian version.
