Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 links Gluten-free sausage (mild or spicy)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Remove the casings from the gluten-free sausage links if necessary. Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
To serve, divide the cooked gluten-free spaghetti among plates or bowls. Ladle the tomato sauce and sausage mixture over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
