Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 4 pieces Irish sausage (or bangers)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 150 grams peeled and diced potatoes
• 1 cup beef stock
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Irish sausages and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften and absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Add the beef stock, canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Slice the browned sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your Irish Italian Spaghetti!
