Certainly cooking some onions and garlic would be a good start.
Crushed fennel seeds are good, but maybe your sausage already has some
fennel. The one essential that hasn't been mentioned yet is a good
splash of the hearty red wine that you plan to drink with the meal.
Put it in the pan after you've browned the sausage, onions and garlic,
and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any tasty bits that formed
there. Then add the tomato sauce. -aem
