Quick Sausage Spaghetti
1 pound
Italian sausage, hot or mild
2 cloves garlic, minced
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 ounces vermicelli
2 to 3 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
If using sausage links, cut them in thin disks or remove the casings and crumble
the meat into a wide, deep skillet over moderately high heat.
If the meat is crumbled, add the garlic as it is cooking. If meat is in slices,
add garlic near the end of cooking so the garlic doesn't burn. (If the meat is
sticking, add a little vegetable oil to the skillet. Some processors make their
links extra-lean.)
Add tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes or more, stirring occasionally. If sausage
has stuck to the pan, scrape to lift it off. Taste and season with salt and
pepper.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the
vermicelli.
Cook the vermicelli 4 1/2 minutes or until done to desired taste. Drain and top
with sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
