    This Italian sausage spaghetti is perfect for busy nights. This pasta dish combines pantry staples with fresh ingredients to make a delicious dinner the whole family will enjoy.

    Spaghetti served on a white plate topped with sausage tomato sauce and garnished with parsley.

    The spaghetti sauce is made with jarred pasta sauce but we add a special touch with onions, lots of garlic, fire-roasted tomatoes and flavorful Italian sausage.

    We serve our pasta with a hearty piece of this easy-to-make homemade garlic bread. Give it a try if you have a little extra time on your hands.

    Pasta is always a go-to for weeknight dinners. It’s a family favorite, affordable and easy to make. To keep things interesting, and keep boredom at bay, we need to mix things up.

    The flavors in this Italian sausage spaghetti are bold and a nice change of pace. Here are 10 more easy pasta recipes to work into your dinner routine.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
    • 1 Small Onion, finely diced
    • 3-5 Garlic Cloves, minced
    • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
    • 1 pound Mild Italian Sausage, casings removed or use bulk sausage
    • 1 (24 ounce) Jar Pasta Sauce, meatless (use your favorite brand and variety)
    • 1 (14 ounce) can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
    • 1 cup Beef Broth
    • 16 ounces Spaghetti, cooked to package directions for al dente
    • 1-2 tablespoons Salt for the Pasta Water
    • Chopped Parsley for garnish, optional
    The prepped ingredients for the pasta dish arranged on a wood cutting board.

    Recipe tips

    • If you’re using sausage links instead of bulk, the remove the sausage from the casings. Use a sharp knife tip and run it along the sausage lengthwise. Remove the casing and tear the sausage into small pieces. This will make it much easier to break it up when it hits the skillet.
    • Do not add salt to the sauce until it is done. The sausage, pasta sauce, canned tomatoes and beef broth all contain salt already. As a reference we did not add extra salt to ours.

    Serving and Storing

    Serve the spaghetti with the Italian sausage sauce and garnish with a little chopped parsley, if desired.

    Store the Italian sausage sauce and the pasta separately, in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

    • 1-2 tablespoons Salt for the Pasta Water

    Instructions

    • Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the onions, cook approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
    • Add the garlic and oregano and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
    • Add the sausage, raise the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes while stirring and breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon or a spatula.
    • Add the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes and beef broth to the sausage and stir well. Bring the sauce to a simmer, lower heat to medium-low and cover. Cook the sauce for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep the sauce at a simmer. If it starts boiling too vigorously, lower the heat.
    • Taste the tomato sauce and add salt, if needed. As a reference we did not add extra salt to ours.
    • When the sauce is almost done, cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente. Remember to salt the water before dropping in the pasta.
