Classic Italian Spaghetti
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage
  • 4 (6.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, stirring the sausage constantly until it reaches a browned state. Remove excess moisture.
2
Combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper with the cooked sausage in the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour, preferably all day.
3
In a separate pot, bring a substantial amount of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until it reaches an optimal level of tenderness, still retaining a slight firmness when bitten into, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the spaghetti and transfer it to a large serving container.
4
Add the cooked spaghetti to the simmering sauce, gently tossing until the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
