When I first tried this recipe, I knew I had to find a way to create a make ahead version of it. I worked on a few variations to come up with the best one and here it is. This saucy sausage pasta sauce has such fresh flavours. Having this in my freezer makes it so easy to get supper on the table. I can just cook up whatever pasta I happen to have, heat up the sauce, and dinner is ready to go.

For serving:
- 500 g linguine, penne, or other pasta

- optional: red pepper flakes
Assembly instructions:
- Brown the sausage. If it is in the casing, uncase it first.
- Place the browned sausage, minced garlic, chopped onion, sun dried tomatoes, can of diced tomatoes, and seasonings in a large resealable freezer bag.
- Remove the excess air and seal. Freeze.
Cooking instructions:
- Remove the bag from the freezer to thaw.
