Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and add to the pan with the sauce.

Notes
- Store leftover Spaghetti with Sausage in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm through to serve.
- Cut up spaghetti with kitchen scissors to make it easier for little kids to eat.
- Add a veggie by adding 1 cup minced bell pepper or mushrooms to Step 1 with the garlic.
- Use mild or hot Italian sausage according to your preference.
- Use bulk Italian sausage, remove sausage links from the casing, or slice links in half. They all work similarly.
