I like sauce when I eat pasta

This is fast and a no brainer plus lots of people do this...it isn't
really cheating. It just saves time to personalize a jar of comercial
sauce.

The italian sausage can be replaced by many meats such as say chicken or
ground beef. As you refine this to your personal tastes quantities and
ingredients will vary from the recipe. It is more of a concept than a
recipe.


Put some jarred pasta sauce in a pot, add some diced Italian sausage, add
some minced garlic, add some sliced mushrooms or some diced green pepper
or diced onion maybe all three; taste then adjust garlic and seasonings
to your preference might need more basil or oregano ...whatever. Set it
to simmer. Now start the pasta...once the pasta is cooked the sauce will
be ready.
