First, we remove the casing from the sausage and crumble it.
Heat a large skillet with a splash of oil. Add the meat, covered, so it cooks in its own juices.
Remove it and finish mashing with a fork or spatula, as it tends to be lumpy. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and finely chopped carrot with a splash of olive oil and the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper.
When it's golden brown, add the crushed tomato and let it cook down to reduce. Adjust the salt and add 1 teaspoon of sugar (to cut the acidity).
Cook the pasta in salted water.
Keep an eye on the sauce and stir. When the tomato has reduced and is a bit thicker, lower the heat to minimum and add the previously reserved sausage and rosemary optionally.
Cook the pasta until al dente or to your liking, about 8-10 minutes. Then drain it, making sure there's no water left.
Place it on plates and add 3-4 tablespoons of bolognese over each mound of spaghetti.
