Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) spaghetti (cooked and drained)
- 4 sausages (sliced into thin rounds, or use mini cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup tomato sauce (or canned diced tomatoes, blended)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Extra Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley or basil
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (for extra depth)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or dried oregano & basil)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Boiling Preparation: Fill a large pot with water, season generously with salt, and bring to a vigorous boil over high heat.
- Pasta Cooking: Gently immerse spaghetti into the roiling water, periodically stirring to ensure even cooking and prevent pasta from clumping, until achieving an al dente consistency in 8-10 minutes.
- Cooling and Draining: Swiftly remove pot from heat, transfer spaghetti to a colander, and rinse thoroughly under cold running water to immediately cease cooking and prevent strands from adhering to each other, allowing excess moisture to completely drain by gently shaking the colander.
Notes
- Prevent Pasta Clumping: Stir spaghetti occasionally during boiling to ensure even cooking and separate strands.
- Master Al Dente Texture: Check pasta firmness at 8 minutes to achieve perfect tender-yet-firm consistency without overcooking.
- Quick Cooling Technique: Rinse pasta immediately with cold water to stop cooking process and maintain ideal texture for frying.
- Drain Thoroughly: Shake colander gently to remove maximum moisture, preventing soggy results when frying spaghetti sausages.
