Is Spaghetti With Sausage Healthy?

Save

The short answer is yes, our spaghetti with sausage recipe is healthy as we have adhered to our nutrition guidelines and kept everything in moderation.

Each serving contains around 500 calories. We have minimized the amounts of saturated fat and salt. There are just 7 grams of saturated fat and 580 milligrams of salt, both of which account for less than 25% of the USDA’s recommended daily allowances.

Additionally, our homemade tomato sauce has an abundance of nutrients without any of the preservatives usually found in store-bought varieties. Also, the presence of protein in the pork sausage and ground beef serves to boost your metabolic health and help you gain muscle mass and strength.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Our spaghetti with sausage recipe is prepared with al dente spaghetti, spicy Italian sausage, tender beef, and a tomato sauce. The ingredients are readily available in local stores.

Save

• Sausage: We enjoy Italian pork sausage since it has a wonderful sweet-with-a-hint-of-spice flavor. If you’re searching for a leaner alternative, chicken or turkey sausage is an excellent choice.
• Tomato Paste: Use fire-roasted tomatoes for their enhanced flavor and smoky aroma.
• Tomato Sauce: We prepared our own tomato sauce without adding salt or flavorings. The combination of homemade tomato sauce and tomato paste builds an incredibly flavorful sauce base. We incorporated this technique to get a succulent Squid Ink Seafood Pasta.
• Broth: Instead of plain water, we used chicken broth to improve the texture and taste of the sauce. Don’t be concerned about it dominating the final flavor since the broth is mild and light. You may prepare your own version at home or get unsalted packages at your local grocery shop.
• Pasta: Our recipe calls for spaghetti, but feel free to use whichever pasta you like.
• Seasonings and Spices: The sauce is seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Add more herbs and spices as desired.
• White Wine: It’s used to deglaze the pan and add a complex, acidic flavor to the pasta.
• Cheese: The nutty flavor of the Parmesan cheese pairs beautifully with the sauce and enhances the overall authenticity of the meal. Additionally, you can sprinkle it over the spaghetti as a garnish.

Storage and Reheating

Store the sausage spaghetti in sealed containers for 3 – 4 days in the refrigerator.

 To reheat the pasta, place in a skillet on the stovetop. Note that the pasta will absorb some liquid, so add a bit of extra sauce or water to thin it down.
