Method: 

Over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil in a large deep skillet.
Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat; add the onions and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, about 2 minutes.
Pour stock in skillet and deglaze. Add remaining ingredients; reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
