I suppose that it is easy for anyone to prepare a plate of spaghetti with a little tomato and some trickle of sausage, ham or any other ingredient. Getting the children of the family to consider your pasta dish as the richest of all and at the same time reduce the fat present in it, was a great challenge that with this special spaghetti recipe for children, you can overcome without difficulty.
Of course you can adapt the recipe to your needs and availability of your fridge, using fresh sausages, chicken breast or leftover meatballs, but with today's recipe as I explain it, as simple as it may seem, you will be assured of success.
Ingredients for 4 people
- 300 gr of spaghetti, 250 gr of minced sausage meat, 75 gr of stewed sausage, 250 ml of homemade fried tomato, water, salt and grated cheese to melt
How to make special spaghetti for children
The most important task of this preparation is to have a good fried tomato sauce, if possible homemade. It costs nothing to fry some tomatoes and the result changes a lot if we compare it with those sold in a can or jar. If you are not going to use homemade fried tomatoes, buy some quality brand from the packaged ones.
To make the sauce of our special spaghetti, we will substitute the typical sausage hash, much more fatty with a mixture of sausage and sausage minced meat, but with less presence of this but maintaining its flavor. To get it, chop the sausage into pieces and put them without any oil in the pan to release its fat and brown a little.
As soon as the choricitos begin to change color, we add the minced meat of the sausages to be cold in that fat taking the sausage flavor. With this contribution we make sure that the children will also eat the meat, since they will love its flavor.
We add then the homemade fried tomato and stir so that the flavors are integrated, letting the whole cook for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat but leave the sauce in the pan to keep it hot.
Cook the pasta according to the manufacturer's instructions until you are at your point. With children it is better to spend a little pasta since they do not usually like it so much that it is al dente. In each dish, we serve the spaghetti first, on top of a good spoon of sauce and on it some strands of grated cheese.
Having good ingredients, if you make this recipe as I tell you, children and adults will enjoy the traditional flavor of sausage pasta, but we can include minced meat that will have a lower fat protein intake that if we made the whole recipe using crumbled sausage.
