  1. Slice sausages in half lengthwise; remove and discard the casing.
  2. In a large pot, heat oil over high heat. Add pork roast and sear on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté sausage meat, ground pork and ham. Once meat is seared, add onions, celery, green pepper and garlic. Continue sautéing, stirring frequently until meat is cooked and vegetables are soft. Add crushed and diced tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning. Bring to a boil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Return pork shoulder to pot, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours until pork is tender. Remove from pot, shred using two forks and return meat to sauce.
  5. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve over your favourite pasta.
