Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 links sweet Italian sausage 6 ounces each
  • 0.25 cup white wine
  • 1 jar marinara sauce 32 ounces
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 package spaghetti 16 ounces
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer sausage links into the hot pot. Cover with a lid and cook until beautifully browned and just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • While the sausages are cooling, add wine to the same pot over medium-high heat. Simmer until it reduces by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce. Pour water into the jar of pasta sauce, seal, and shake to rinse out the jar. Pour that liquid into the pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  • Slice each fully cooled sausage into 4 pieces. Transfer sausage and any accumulated juices into the simmering sauce. Cook at a gentle, steady simmer for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until nearly tender, about 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and mix with the hot sauce.
  • Evenly divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each serving with sausage pieces. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.

Notes

You can use spicy or mild sausage links. For a wine substitute, mix 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
