Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 links Gluten-free sausage (mild or spicy)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove the casings from the gluten-free sausage links if necessary. Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

To serve, divide the cooked gluten-free spaghetti among plates or bowls. Ladle the tomato sauce and sausage mixture over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
