An Easy Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
There’s no special formula or hours of simmering.

My parents and I have been making spaghetti this way for years.
The sauce gets all of its seasoning from two Italian sausages one sweet, one spicy.

Make Ahead Spaghetti with Sausage
Make the sauce ahead and refrigerate it up to 3 days.
Or, double it, use half for dinner, and freeze half for up to 3 months.
The sauce itself freezes well, but don’t freeze it with the pasta added.

Round Out Your Spaghetti Dinner!
Make the sauce and boil the spaghetti simultaneously.
The sauce should be done in the time it takes to heat the pasta water and cook the spaghetti.

Feel free to vary the amount of sausage for the sauce.
We use anywhere from 1/2 pound to a full pound of Italian sausage, half sweet, half spicy.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Remove the cooked onion and garlic from the pan and set aside.
Cook on medium heat until just lightly browned.

Add crushed or pureed canned tomatoes with their juices to the skillet with the sausage meat.
Add the cooked onions and garlic.
Heat to a bare simmer.
Once the pasta water has come to a rolling boil, add the spaghetti.
Allow the water to return to a rolling boil.
Drain the pasta and place it in a serving bowl.
Toss with the sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
