There is nothing I like better than a nice bowl of Spaghetti...It's one of the true joys of my life...So when I came across this recipe, which features a healthy use of Italian Sausage,I just had to share this with you.
Ingredients:
1. In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
2. Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
3. Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
4. Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
5. Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
6. Stir in red wine.
7. Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
8. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
9. Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
As much as I like Steak...I'd give up a steak dinner for this Spaghetti Dinner...Try it and see if you don't feel the same way!
