- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from pot.
- In the same pot, add diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until garlic is golden.
