Equipment

  • large pot
  • Skillet
  • colander

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces spaghetti (or other pasta)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces spicy pork sausage (sliced or hot dogs)
  • ½ medium white onion (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced thyme
  • ½ cup green bell pepper (diced)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 medium habanero pepper (or scotch bonnet pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon bouillon powder
  • 1 cup reserved pasta water
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium heat. Add pasta and cook to al dente following the package directions. When the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sauté the sliced pork sausage until browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
  • To the same skillet, add white onions, garlic, thyme, and bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste, stir well, and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Next, add the scotch bonnet pepper, bouillon powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Add ½ cup of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir well until the pasta is coated with the sauce. Finally, add the pork sausage to the pasta and stir to combine.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water left over from boiling the spaghetti. Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
