Instructions
Gather and measure all of your ingredients. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian pork sausage, breaking it up. Add in the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onion is translucent and the sausage is browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
1 pound Italian sausage, 1 small yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, and parsley, stirring to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the spaghetti.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 18 to 25 minutes (or until the spaghetti just has a small bite to it), stirring occasionally to pull the spaghetti apart and scrape up the bottom of the pan.
16 ounces dry spaghetti
Top with Parmesan and fresh basil to serve.
Notes
I do not recommend deviating from spaghetti as that is what this recipe has been tested with. Additionally, whole wheat or thin spaghetti would not be good substitutes here.
