Delightful Pasta Creations for the Family
Pasta has long been a staple in many households, adored by people of all ages. My teenage daughter is so fond of spaghetti that she often enjoys it not only for dinner but also as breakfast, lunch, and even an afternoon snack. While not everyone shares such an intense love for pasta, it’s true that repeating the same recipes can become monotonous. Here are some innovative ways to breathe new life into this classic dish:
Spicy Sausage Spaghetti
- 2 pounds Italian sausage
- 48 ounces spaghetti sauce
- 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
- Sliced green pepper
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 cup water
Begin by placing the sausage in a skillet and covering it with water. Simmer for 10 minutes before draining. In a slow cooker, combine all remaining ingredients except the sausage. Add the drained sausage to this mixture and cover; cook on low heat for 4 hours. Then increase to high heat and cook an additional hour. Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces and serve over cooked spaghetti noodles, adding extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
