Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, pasta, broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.
  • Simmer the pasta for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. You may have to stir occasionally to make sure the pasta doesn't stick to the pot.
  • Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  1. Sausage: Any type of sausage can be used, but for maximum flavor, try Italian or spicy sausage. If you prefer a lighter version, you can also use turkey sausage.
  2. Pasta: This recipe works well with any small-shaped pasta. However, timing may vary depending on the pasta used.
  3. Vegetables: Feel free to add extra veggies such as bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini for added nutrition.
  4. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave before serving.
  5. Freezing: This dish freezes well. Just let it cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and warm it up in a pan over medium heat.
