Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 ounces Italian sausage see note
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional, crushed
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 8 ounces spaghetti uncooked
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese optional, to taste, freshly grated; fresh chopped; for serving
  • parsley
  • basil

Instructions

  1. Add the Italian sausage meat to a soup pot/Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and cook until browned, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and garlic, and cook for one minute.
  3. Stir in the onion powder, sugar, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  4. Add the beef broth and crushed tomatoes to the pot, and crank up the heat to high.
  5. Once boiling, add in the spaghetti and cook for 12 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. You will need to turn the heat down at some point to maintain a constant simmer (medium or even medium-low) so it's bubbling steadily but not furiously boiling. See notes below for troubleshooting tips.
  6. Turn the burner off (leave the pot on it). Sprinkle the mozzarella over top and close the lid for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and more of the liquid absorbs. This recipe has plenty of sauce.
  7. Gently toss it so the mozzarella is incorporated, and season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve with freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil and/or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Troubleshooting tip: every pot/stove varies, so cooking times are a guideline and you may need to adjust if needed. E.g., if you find the pasta isn't quite cooked yet and the liquid is getting too low, add a splash more beef broth and/or turn the heat down. If there's still too much liquid at the end of cooking time and/or the pasta isn't yet done, cook it for a little longer. The pasta will soak up more liquid the longer it sits. 
  • For the sausages, anything around 16 ounces/1 pound will work – it doesn’t need to be exact. You can either buy ground sausage meat or, if using whole sausages, take the meat out of the casings.
  • 8 oz. is half a standard American-sized package of spaghetti.
