Description

A soul-soothing meal that combines spaghetti, Italian sausage, and canned tomatoes for a comforting dinner.


Ingredients

  • Spaghetti
  • Italian sausage
  • Canned tomatoes
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the canned tomatoes and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
  7. Combine the drained spaghetti with the sauce in the skillet, tossing well to ensure the noodles are coated.
  8. Serve hot, topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

Make ahead of time by preparing the sauce a day before. You can also swap spaghetti for other pasta shapes, such as penne or fusilli.
