Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 4 pieces Irish sausage (or bangers)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 150 grams peeled and diced potatoes
- 1 cup beef stock
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Irish sausages and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften and absorb the flavors.
Add the beef stock, canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Slice the browned sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your Irish Italian Spaghetti!
