Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

Pasta

  • 12 oz spaghetti

Spaghetti sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 15 oz Italian sausage mild, crumbled
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs from Provence
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
  • 13 oz marinara sauce or tomato sauce
  • 6 oz spinach, fresh
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • coarsely ground black pepper to taste
  • fresh thyme

Instructions
 

Cook pasta

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. While the pasta cooks, proceed with the recipe below.

How to make spaghetti sauce

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large, heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet.
  • Add crumbled sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the sausage is cooked. Drain excess fat.
  • To the same skillet with sausage, add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, marinara sauce (or tomato sauce), and fresh spinach. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, for 4 or 5 minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking.
  • Add chopped fresh tomatoes, and cook for about 2 more minutes.

Assembly

  • Add cooked and drained pasta to the sauce. Reheat.
  • Mix everything well. Remove from heat.
  • Season with salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if you like. Top with fresh herbs, such as thyme.

Notes

You can use store-bought tomato pasta sauce or marinara sauce with any flavor. Mild Italian sausage or sweet/spicy variants work well, and seasoning can be adjusted to taste depending on the sausage saltiness.
