Spaghetti With Beef and Linguica Red Sauce

Switch up your standard spaghetti and meat sauce with the addition of linguica. You are going to love the subtle change!

In my household, we love Portuguese sausages (chourico and linguica): we serve them with eggs and toast, add them to homemade hash browns, grill them for sandwiches, add them to cheesy dips, throw them into soups, and slip them into shakes. Okay, disregard that last one. I’m just checking to see if you’re paying attention! Essentially, they are very tasty and are always present in one form or another in my fridge.

Ground linguica is a smoked and cooked Portuguese sausage. As the name suggests, it is a ground form of the linguica. It is seasoned with paprika, several other spices, and garlic. As you would expect, the sausage is wonderfully flavorful. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to it (but I hope you do!), so substitute this recipe if you must.

A good way to use ground linguica is to add it to spaghetti sauce. I incorporate it into my everyday meat sauce for a different flavor profile. Try it if you want something slightly different from your usual weekday spaghetti and sauce. Not to mention that it’s easy to make and perfect for a busy schedule. We hope you like it as much as we do!
