It doesn't get much easier than this by cooking everything in one pot. Italian sausage and pasta sauce with spaghetti noodles that you can have on the table in less than 45 minutes. Switch it up by using ground beef, chicken, or turkey along with any other of your favorite ingredients, such as sliced mushrooms.

I’ve made this for years from a recipe named Cuban spaghetti maybe? Slight changes, I substitute the water with chicken broth, make it with ground beef and add a larger can of sliced black olives towards the end. I had been thinking of trying sausage, next time I will! Read More

I am NOT a novice cook and it took 50 minutes to cook this and 3 cups of water. Total waste of time and effort. Read More

We loved this. I added mushrooms and a can of tomatoes, and extra pasta sauce and topped it with lots of shaved parmesan cheese. I will definitely make this again and again. I love one pot meals! Read More

Love it, easy to make and very tasty. I do suggest using a good sauce and maybe adding personal favorite spicing like garlic or oregano to taste. Read More

Excellent idea! In fact I did that very thing the other night before I ever saw this recipe. Why have we been messing with that large pot of water to cook pasta all this time?? It takes a little watching at first but so much easier to clean up. Try it you'll wish you'd been doing this all along. Read More
