Easy Sausage Bolognese

June 8, 2016 By Shannah Coe 10 Comments

Everyone has time to make homemade pasta sauce when you choose to make this easy sausage bolognese. It is ready in under 30 minutes and is also a great way to add in extra vegetables to your family’s diet without it tasting like vegetables. Great for picky eaters!

Nothing beats pasta night. It is quick, easy and always a family favorite. For our pasta nights, I make this easy sausage bolognese that clings to the pasta perfectly.

I rarely have enough time in the kitchen to make homemade marinara sauce so I love how quickly this bolognese comes together. You can also sneak in extra vegetables into the sauce if you want which is a great way to boost the vegetable intake of unsuspecting kids.

I love making a pot of perfectly salted spaghetti to go along with the sauce. Combined with some garlic bread and steamed broccoli, it is a perfect weeknight meal.

This makes a large amount of easy sausage bolognese and, since we don’t eat a lot of sauce on our pasta, I usually freeze half for use in the future. Just let it cool and put it into a ziploc bag to easily freeze it flat.

Easy sausage bolognese pasta sauce is the perfect pairing for almost any shape of pasta.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, stirring to crumble.
