We made spaghetti sauce using fresh tomatoes. Chopped 6 them up trying to cut the outer skin off first (had I been planning I would had par-boiled them and dunked them in ice water to peel but I was in a hurry). Anyhow, I cooked them for 20 minutes and added a little oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion flakes (about 1/4 tsp each). Meanwhile I heated water to boil and in a separate pan cooked 1 pound lean Italian sausage, turning to cook through. In the boiling water I cooked thick spaghetti noodles (for about 12 minutes).
To serve: Cut the cooked Italian Sausage into 1/2" slices. Strain the noodles, serve with the sauce and Italian sausage. Makes 4 -6 servings if you can follow this
