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 and torn into small pieces or use bulk sausage
- 24 ounce Jar Pasta Sauce meatless (use your favorite brand and variety)
- 14 ounces 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
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.
- Drain the spaghetti, serve it with the Italian sausage sauce and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
