- In a 4 to 6 quart pot over medium heat, mix 4 ounces oil, tomato sauce, 8 to 12 ounces water, basil, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low after reaching a boil; stir occasionally.

[email protected]I've tried many Cajun spaghetti recipes, but this one is by far the best. The holy trinity of vegetables (bell pepper, onion, and celery) provided a solid foundation for the sauce, and the addition of shrimp and sausage gave it a nice depth of flavor
