Simple and Delicious Stovetop Spaghetti Recipe!

The way people make spaghetti sauce varies from person to person. This particular spaghetti recipe is one of the easiest and tastiest recipes you’ll ever make.

In this recipe, there is no special formula or long simmering time. You just cook some chopped onions and sausage, and add some prepared marinara sauce and a couple other easy-to-find ingredients.

The best thing about this spaghetti recipe is that it is so easy to prepare and doesn’t require a lot of seasoning. The sauce gets all of its seasoning from the very few ingredients it has.

You can make the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to three days. Alternatively, you can double the recipe, use half for dinner, and freeze the other half for up to three months.

When frozen, the sauce itself is fine, but the pasta shouldn’t be frozen with it.
