Okay people! I was supposed to share this recipe for my Creole Spaghetti over a year ago. I do apologize. Life got in the way.
There was a major car accident that I was in. Like ten cars hit me. Two trucks directly. Let’s just say I’ve been through a lot but due to the grace of God I survived and am thriving.
I know some of y’all wondered where I’ve been? Just know I’m so very blessed and happy to be back to work and sharing new recipes with y’all.
I have other sauce recipes on the blog like my Cajun Lasagna and Baked Spaghetti Casserole.
This recipes slightly different, but just as delicious.
Did I mention my Cajun Lasagna is my most popular recipe ever?
It’s a must make when you have the time and the folks to eat it. It’s huge!
Back to our spaghetti.
I start off with fresh andouille and Italian sausage. I also use ground turkey.
You can use ground beef if you prefer. I’ve used turkey for over twenty years and it’s just a habit.
I get my fresh andouille sausage from Sprouts Market.
I’ll make andouille sausage for the blog for those of you who would like to make it from scratch or can’t find it in your area.
I also used fire-roasted tomatoes because Summer makes me put them in everything as I told y’all last week.
I gotta keep my baby girl happy. Otherwise, she’ll call the food police on me.
This young lady doesn’t play with her food. She’s hard on her mama. My biggest critic. lol
It’s really simple to make. Just saute your veggies in olive oil. Add the meat and brown those up. Add a little tomato paste.
Now for the fire-roasted tomatoes and broth. Allow that to cook for around thirty minutes.
Stir in fresh Italian parsley and our sauce is ready to eat.
Cook up a batch of your favorite pasta and enjoy!
