(Originally published August 30, 2021)

Monday as come around again all too quickly, but that’s ok because I have the best pasta recipe to share with you today.

This Fire-Roasted Tomato, Sausage & Basil Pasta is going to win your heart over and you are going to love every single bite of this. . . I PROMISE!

Done in under 30 minutes, this is one of those dinners that is going to save your butt when you’ve had a crazy day and have no idea what to fix for dinner.

It’s absolutely fantastic! Serve it with a green salad and some crusty bread and it might just be one of the easiest, most perfect meals you’ve ever had.

You might be wondering how something that is so simple to make can be so incredibly good. Well stop wondering and trust me when I say this pasta is phenomenal! Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe deceive you.

Simple lineup of ingredients:

  • spaghetti noodles
  • onion
  • sausage
  • garlic
  • chicken broth
  • cornstarch
  • fire-roasted tomatoes 
  • parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil
  • red pepper flakes

How to Make Fire Roasted Tomato, Sausage & Basil Pasta:

  1. Bring some water to a boil and begin cooking your noodles.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, brown the sausage and onion together in a large skillet. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute or two.
  3. Whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch and pour over the cooked sausage. Continue cooking on medium heat until sauce thickens. Add in the tomatoes and give it a good stir.
  4. Stir in the fresh basil, parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Add in the drained pasta, give it a good stir. Garnish with more basil and parmesan cheese and serve warm.

What is the best sausage to use?

Most pasta dishes I make I use Italian sausage in them. When I first made this recipe, I debated whether to use “regular sausage” like the recipe said (you know, like Jimmie Dean that comes in a tube), or Italian sausage. I opted for the regular and absolutely loved it! I am sure Italian sausage would be delicious as well, but I have always just stuck with using good old “regular” sausage.

Description

This Fire Roasted Tomato, Sausage & Basil Pasta is going to knock your socks off. Comes together in under 30 minutes and tastes amazing. Guaranteed to become a family favorite! ♡


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 pound of dry spaghetti, cooked
  • 1 pound regular sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 can (15 oz.) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese *see note
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil some water. Add pasta and cook until al dente, turn off the heat and drain.
  2. While pasta is cooking, in a large pan, cook sausage and onion together, stirring often, cook until sausage is browned and cooked all the way through. Add the minced garlic, and cook on low for about one minute.
  3. In a bowl or large measuring glass, whisk together the cornstarch and broth until completely dissolved. Add the broth mixture to the cooked sausage. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring often, for a few minutes until sauce is thickened. Add the can of tomatoes and mix until combined.  Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, chopped basil and red pepper flakes and stir.
  4. Add the drained pasta and mix together, let it simmer for a few minutes so the noodles can absorb some of the liquid. Garnish with the more basil and parmesan. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I have made this using freshly grated Parmesan cheese, the stuff from the can and the pre-shredded kind in a bag and all three of them work and taste delicious.

    Hi! Could you use fresh tomatoes? Only asking because I have so many from the garden to use up, lol.
    Thank you Jodi!

      Hi Mary! I haven’t ever made this with fresh tomatoes, I’m sure you could but then you’re not getting all the flavor that the canned fire-roasted tomatoes have. You could certainly give it a try and add some extra seasonings.

    I have some italian sausage in the freezer, so I will use that. Do you use bulk or links of sausage? This looks so good! Thank you

      I use bulk sausage for this Janet, usually Jimmie Dean or Farmland brand is what I’ve used.
