Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Sausage

Whenever I have spaghetti, I love to make homemade spaghetti sauce. I’ve made a few different recipes over the years, unfortunately, I didn’t write them down. So I decided to make a new recipe this past weekend so I could have a good recipe on hand for my future spaghetti sauce making adventures.

Now I have to admit, there are times when I will use jarred spaghetti sauce. When Publix has the good brands on sale BOGO free, I’ll pick up a couple of jars because it makes for a quick weeknight meal. Just boil some pasta, heat up the sauce and you’re set in less than 20 minutes. But no sauce compares to homemade sauce. So if you want to have homemade sauce rather than jarred sauce for a weeknight meal, I recommend making my sauce and freezing part of it so you can thaw it for that quick weeknight meal. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
