Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Stephanie Gallagher
I use this meat sauce for everything from spaghetti with meat sauce to baked ziti and lasagna.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 lb. mild Italian turkey sausage, casings removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 14 oz. cans diced tomatoes with basil
  • 1 14 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

Preparation:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. Add onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add sausage pieces. Brown on all sides.

  4. Add remaining ingredients. Let simmer, uncovered, 15-20 minutes, until sauce thickens.
Serve with spaghetti, fettuccine, lasagna or baked ziti.
