Préparation

1. 1

   In a large pot, heat oil (2 tablespoons) over medium-high heat. Stir in onions (1), garlic (3 cloves), thyme (3 sprigs), carrots (2), celery (2 stalks), and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and saute until onions are translucent. Stir in tomato paste (2 tablespoons), stirring to coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute.

   Pour the canned tomatoes (1 can) and 3 cups of water over the sausage mixture. Add dry spaghetti (12 ounces) and salt stirring to ensure the spaghetti is submerged.
