Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Cook Spaghetti

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

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.

Cooking Sausage

  1. 4

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage links or patties. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and fully cooked. If using links, make sure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

  2. 5

    Slice Sausage

    Once cooked, remove from heat and slice the links into bite-sized pieces or serve as whole patties.

Making Tomato Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet used for the sausage, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat over medium heat, then add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 7

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  3. 8

    Simmer Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer and let cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 9

    Combine Spaghetti and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all the spaghetti is coated with the sauce.

  2. 10

    Add Sausage

    Add the sliced sausage to the spaghetti and sauce mixture. Toss again to incorporate the sausage evenly.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the spaghetti with sausage hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
