Sausage gravy is made with tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic, and som oregano. Purée tomatoes and minced tomatoes add some consistency.

I have never used tomatoes but have added onions, peppers, and cilantro at times.

Chrissy Teigen's SAUSAGE GRAVY
¾ pound pork breakfast sausage, casings removed, crumbled
4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter (see Note)
¼ cup all-purpose flour (see Note)
3 cups whole milk, plus more if necessary
1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

You might try A2 milk and see if that works for you.

My go-to milk is unsweetened half almond and half oat milk. Works fine in my sausage gravy.

I have made sausage gravy with Italian sausage, and it was very good. I have not made Italian-style gravy using tomatoes, oregano, or any such stuff. Do you serve it on biscuits or biscotti? Maybe linguini or angel hair pasta? Campfire cowboy coffee or cappuccino?

I am always looking for new ideas. Help me out here, please.

Gravy has 2 meanings as I see it.
Gravy can equal pasta sauce or it can be just plain gravy that you'd out on mashed potatoes or biscuits.
Old school Italian restaurant near me calls their sauce "gravy" that they put on pasta so I can see putting tomatoes and spices in that. This isn't gravy that you'd put on biscuits.

Here's what I made.
I used Grands biscuits and didn't do from scratch. Heresy to some but they're excellent and easy.

My first wife was Italian and her parents called their pasta sauce gravy also.

I have used Pioneer Pepper or Sausage gravy mix packet and you really don't need to add any milk,just water. It has a really good taste for a gravy mix and I use it all of the time on many things,especially good on meatloaf and Southern fried steak,although I haven't had the steak in a long time.
