Instructions:
-
Brown the Sausage: In a large, heavy stockpot, begin by browning the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into smaller pieces as you stir. Let the aroma of sizzling sausage fill your kitchen with anticipation.
-
Add the Aromatics: Once the sausage is cooked through and starting to brown, add in the finely chopped onion. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, releasing their sweet fragrance into the air.
-
Infuse with Garlic: Now, it’s time to add the minced garlic cloves to the pot, allowing their pungent essence to meld with the other ingredients and elevate the flavor profile to new heights.
-
Incorporate the Tomato Trio: Dive into tomato paradise by adding the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce to the pot, stirring well to combine. Let the vibrant red hues mingle and dance together in a symphony of savory goodness.
-
Enhance with Herbs and Spices: Sprinkle in the basil, dried parsley flakes, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and fresh coarse ground black pepper, infusing the sauce with layers of aromatic complexity and a hint of gentle heat.
-
Simmer to Perfection: Barely bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Allow the flavors to meld and intensify over the course of at least an hour, though longer simmering is encouraged for a sauce that’s truly out of this world. Just be sure to keep an eye on it and avoid any unwanted scorching!
-
Cook the Spaghetti: While the sauce works its magic, cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package directions until they reach al dente perfection. Prepare yourself for the symphony of textures awaiting your palate.
-
Assemble and Serve: Once the spaghetti is cooked to perfection, drain it well and transfer it to serving plates. Spoon generous amounts of the luscious sauce over the noodles, ensuring that each strand is coated in savory goodness. Sprinkle with a generous helping of grated Parmesan cheese for the pièce de résistance.
-
