Spaghetti Recipe with Chunky Vegetable and Meat Sauce

1/4/15

Delicious vegetable and sausage spaghetti

Spaghetti with hot links, sweet Italian sausage beef, and more!

Usually when people think of spaghetti, they think of a simple pasta dish with a nice marinara sauce. Well, that is NOT the spaghetti that I am making in this post! This spaghetti is simple to make, but there is nothing simple about the taste. The homemade meat sauce is packed with three different meats, and a hearty blend of flavorful fresh vegetables.  Just say NO to the same old spaghetti recipes, and step your game up to some delicious Spaghetti Recipe with Chunky Vegetable and Meat Sauce .Spicy sausage for the spaghetti

Rather than using just ground beef, I spiced things up by using hot links and sweet Italian sausage. I used sweet Italian sausage for two reason:

  1. It was on sale!!
  2. I didn’t want to use another spicy sausage.

If you want to use  mild or hot Italian sausage you definitely can.  As far as the hot links, I used “Louisiana Hot Links”. I don’t remember the particular brand unfortunately, but use whatever hot link brand that works for you. You can use pork, beef, turkey, and etc sausage.

Fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions for the yummy spaghetti

When if came to my vegetable combination, I have to be honest with you. I grabbed what I had in my refrigerator. I didn’t use anything special. My vegetable combo consist of

  • Sweet Gem Tomatoes
  • Green Bell Peppers
  • Yellow Onions
  • Green Onions
  • & Mushrooms!

Don’t feel that you have to follow this list to the “T” . If you have some veggies in the refrigerator, that need to be used asap, feel free to dice those suckers, and throw them in! Here is a list of other vegetables that I have tried with this spaghetti and I LOVED

  • carrots (peeled & diced)
  • red onion
  • sweet peppers
  • eggplant (peeled & diced )

Saute the ground beef, sausage and vegetables together

Along with the meat and vegetables, you’re also going to need tomato paste to create your meat sauce ( but I’m sure you probably already knew that!). As far as seasonings, like always, I kept is simple. I used

  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • & Salt Free Seasoning – YES, you can use salt or seasoning salt if you choose.

This fun twist on traditional spaghetti is packed with flavor

This spaghetti is a favorite is my household. It’s easy on my budget, and time ( because it doesn’t take a a lot of time to make).

For side dishes, I’d recommend serving this along with a tossed green salad, and maybe french bread.

Need a visual?! Watch me make it!

      This sounds just like what I do, except I use fresh herbs in a bundle and remove the bundle right before serving

    I am definitely going to try this. I get tired of the same old spaghetti. With this recipe I am able to add vegetables which would really make it filling. I know my husband will enjoy it too. I “liked” you on Facebook and am so glad that I did. My brother is the one who told me to check you and and so far I have not been disappointed. Although I have not made any of your recipes as of yet I find them to be very simple and you use ingredients that I already have in my cabinet. You rock Rosie. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Rosie,

    Can you share your recipe for the meat sauce? I may or may not have time to make it from scratch so can you recommend a good store bought meat sauce that you favor?

      The meat sauce recipe is displayed above. I highly suggest using it. HOWEVER, when I use store bought pasta sauces, I usually by Ragu’s Chunky Garden sauce 🙂

    Love the recipe, but I have to leave the hot Links out of the recipe.

    Tweeting your recipe a bit. I will try a vegetarian style since there are mostly vegetarians here. I’ll use squash for the spaghetti, use the crumbles from Morning Star Farms for the meat, and include everything else from your recipe except the Hot Links. I think this will be great.
    Keep the recipes coming, you are doing a great job!

      Error. I meant everything else besides the ground beef, and the Hot Links.
      Writing too fast (lol).

    Rosie,,, I couldn’t never cook my candid yams to taste good to me,, ever. This last Thanksgiving, my daughter says she wants to cook dinner and ask me to help her,of course i said sure. And i volunteer to bake a ham and cook some candid yams. She was so excited, now me I’m worried about the yams.
    I remember seeing your website and immediately i logged in to it , and Bam!!! there it was,, Southern style Candid Yams. Easy as 1 2 3. Everybody loved the yams, my daughter was so happy it was a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving Dinner.
    I’m following your recipe for spaghetti meat sauce next… it looks delicious!

    Thanks,,
