Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce, Sausage, And Salad Recipe

Cooking the Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Preparing the Tomato Sauce

In a saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce, herbs like basil or oregano, and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking the Sausage

In a separate pan, cook the sausage until it's thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Slice or crumble the sausage into the tomato sauce and let it simmer together for a few minutes.

Preparing the Salad

In a mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and a simple dressing of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the salad is well coated.

Assembling the Dish

Serve the cooked spaghetti with a generous amount of tomato and sausage sauce. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. Pair it with a serving of the fresh salad on the side.
