Authentic Italian Spaghetti Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 4 (6.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Drain off any excess grease.
2. In the same skillet, combine tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper with the cooked Italian sausage. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or ideally, simmer throughout the day to deepen the flavors.
3. While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the spaghetti well and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
4. Pour the simmering sauce over the cooked pasta in the serving bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure the spaghetti is evenly coated with the rich and flavorful sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
