Can I Use Jarred Spaghetti Sauce<\/h3>\n

If you prefer to not make this Italian Sausage Spaghetti sauce from scratch, you can use a jarred version instead. I would look for a spaghetti sauce that is chunky since it gives you the same texture as the diced tomatoes in this recipe. This sauce is thicker than the typical jarred sauce. You can either play with the ratios to get the consistency you like or you can boil the sauce in a pot. By boiling the sauce, you will thicken it.<\/p>\n
