How to make Baked Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Feta Cheese and Fresh Sausages:

• We start by putting water to heat in a saucepan. When it starts to boil, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente(cooked but firm without being excessively soft). We drain and reserve.
• While the pasta is being made, we begin to prepare the tomato sauce. To do this, peel the onion and chop it very finely. Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, add the onion and sauté.
• Peel and chop the garlic clovesand add them to the pan along with the onion. Peel and chop the tomatoes and put them in the pan as well. Stir well and leave on the fire.

• In the pan where we have prepared the sauce for the baked pasta with sausages (if it is large enough or, failing that, in a larger pan) add the pasta and mix well with the sauce over low heat.
• Cut the fried sausages into pieces, add them to the pan and stir. Let cook for a few minutes. While we split the feta cheese into cubes.
• Pour half of the spaghetti with tomato into an ovenproof dish and place half of the feta cheese cubes on top. Then we put the rest of the pasta and put the rest of the feta cheese and a little grated cheese to gratin.
• We put the spaghetti in the oven with tomato, feta cheese and fresh sausages(preheated to 180ºC) and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Good appetite!
