  • One-Pot Wonder: Minimal cleanup required.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 grilled sausages (Italian or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

How to Make Spaghetti with Grilled Sausages

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. While the pasta cooks, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the sausages for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and slice into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  5. Stir in the grilled sausage pieces and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to cook the pasta al dente for the best texture.
  • Don’t let the garlic brown; it should be fragrant but retain its light color.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of sausages, like chicken or turkey, for a lighter option.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the spaghetti with whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for dietary preferences.
  • Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for extra nutrition and color.
  • Swap parsley with basil or arugula for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A crisp green salad with vinaigrette.
  • Garlic bread or crusty bread for dipping.
  • Roasted vegetables for a hearty side.
  • A glass of red wine to complement the flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of olive oil or pasta water to keep it moist.
