Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Cook Spaghetti

    Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander and set aside.

Preparing the Sausage Mixture

  1. 4

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and dried oregano.

  4. 7

    Mix in Tomatoes

    Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

  5. 8

    Finish with Basil

    Stir in chopped fresh basil just before serving.
