As we're gearing up for the big release of our new book, Slow Cookers, Casseroles & Skillets (look for it in stores in mid-June!) we wanted to share a sneak peek with you...doesn't this recipe sound delicious? It was shared with us by Lisa Parrish of Trinity, North Carolina. Thanks a bunch, Lisa!
Quick Skillet Spaghetti
Lisa writes, "My husband requests this recipe for dinner weekly! It's so easy because you don't even have to boil water for the spaghetti. Try it with half sausage and half ground turkey too."
1 lb. sweet Italian ground
pork sausage
1 clove garlic, pressed
7-oz. pkg. spaghetti, uncooked
and broken into 1-inch lengths
2 14-oz. cans diced Italian
tomatoes
15-oz. can tomato sauce
1 T. fresh parsley, chopped
2 t. dried basil
3 T. shredded Italian-blend
cheese
In a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Drain; stir in garlic and broken spaghetti. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and stir until well blended. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until spaghetti is tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer to melt cheese. Serves 4 to 6.
