- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 3
Add the little smokies to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring well to combine. Add the Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Add the browned little smokies back into the skillet with the sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
