Quick Skillet Spaghetti

Serves 4 to 6

1 lb. sweet Italian ground pork sausage

1 clove garlic, pressed

7-oz. pkg. spaghetti, uncooked and broken into 1-inch lengths

15-oz. can tomato sauce

2 14-oz. cans diced Italian tomatoes

1 T. fresh parsley, chopped

2 t. dried basil

3 T. shredded Italian-blend cheese

In a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Drain; stir in garlic and broken spaghetti. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and stir until well blended. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until spaghetti is tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer to melt cheese.

Freeze & Serve Instructions: Prepare as directed, omitting cheese; cool. Package in a freezer bag; freeze. To serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator. In a skillet, cover and simmer over medium-low heat until hot. Add cheese.
