Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Pour in the tomato sauce and red wine. Stir in the dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve the spaghetti hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.
- Feel free to use whole wheat spaghetti for a healthier alternative.
- You can substitute the Italian sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter version.
