Brown small can tomato paste in sausage fat left in skillet add to pot.
Add tomatoes to pot after squishing in hand, careful for flying juice, add juice left in can.
Simmer another couple hours. Salt and pepper to taste hour or so before done simmering.
Add little water if becoming too thick. More liquid for soup, less liquid for stew.
Grated Asiago and chopped fresh Italian basil for garnish. Sour cream garnish if stew consistency.

A sprig or two of fresh thyme can be added if you like while simmering then removed before serving. As well a table spoon or two of cider vinegar when adding tomatoes. Cup or two of your favorite drinking white wine as well if you like.

Other than that all the flavor you need come from all the added ingredients as well as browning of certain item described above.

Crusty sourdough bread with butter mandatory accoutrement.
