Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
Brown the
Sweet Italian Sausages (1 lb)

Step 3
In the same skillet, add the
Onion (1/2)
,
Garlic (2 cloves)
, and
Bay Leaves (1 piece)
. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the
Sage Leaves (4)
,
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp)
,
Ground Cinnamon (1 pinch)
,
Ground Nutmeg (1/2 tsp)
