I actually learned a great tip on how to do this when I first made Gordon Ramsay's 15-minute pasta with sausage Bolognese. Ramsay recommends lightly slicing each sausage down the middle to help ...

Use sausages without their skins to make a Bolognese-style ragu in minutes ... in a colander and return to the saucepan. Tip the spicy sausage sauce into the same pan and toss well together.
