The Italian spaghetti is easy to make with sausage, canned tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and herbs for a hearty, no-fuss dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

1/2 pound Italian sausage
4 (6 1/2 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti

Directions

1 Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain.
2 Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to Italian sausage in the skillet. Simmer sauce over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour, or longer for deeper flavor.
3 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl.
4 Add pasta to simmering sauce; toss until evenly coated. Serve hot.
