Instructions:

1. Begin by sautéing the Italian sausage and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring to break up the sausage into bite-sized pieces as it cooks.

2. Continue cooking until the meats are well browned and fragrant, infusing the dish with their savory flavors.

3. Stir in the minced garlic cloves, diced onion, fennel seeds, dried marjoram, dried thyme, and saffron threads, allowing them to mingle and release their aromas as they cook together for approximately 15 minutes.

4. Next, add the fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken to a rich consistency.

5. As the sauce simmers, prepare the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

6. Once the sauce has reached its desired consistency, stir in the half-and-half, peas, and torn fresh basil leaves, allowing them to gently warm through in the sauce for just a minute.

7. Remove the skillet from the heat and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors are perfectly balanced.

8. To serve, divide the cooked fettuccine among serving plates and ladle the creamy tomato wine sauce generously over the pasta.

9. Finish each dish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm sauce and pasta, creating a luxurious finish that will delight your taste buds with each savory bite.
