Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 26 oz jar tomato-basil pasta sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 8 oz package spaghetti, broken in half
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or deep skillet, combine the ground Italian sausage, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sausage is fully browned and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
  • Add the tomato-basil pasta sauce, water, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the broken spaghetti noodles. Stir to separate the noodles, then return to a boil.
  • Reduce heat slightly and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
