Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat.

• Cook everything for about 3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and set aside.

• Add the brown sugar and water. Cook for more 3 minutes.
• Return the bay leaf to the pan.
• Add the pesto, and cover the pan. Once it boils, lower the heat to maintain a low simmer.

• Add the Italian sausages, and sauté until they become brown on the outside but still raw inside.
• Cut the Italian sausages into three pieces each, and add to the tomato sauce. Cook on low heat for about 1½ hours. You can also cook the sauce for longer (3-4 hours) if you have the time.
• Before serving, remove the bay leaf. Serve it over spaghetti or zucchini noodles.
