You don’t have to be Italian to love Italian pasta or spaghetti. Every human being in almost every corner of the world loves eating Italian food!
And of course, every culture has assimilated the recipe in different ways to suit it to their local tastes. So have we Poles!
Can I say that Polish spaghetti tastes better than Italian spaghetti? Maybe not. But I can say that Polish spaghetti is just as amazing!
Ingredients You Need To Make Polish Spaghetti
To make this Polish spaghetti, all you need is sausage, tomato puree, spaghetti, cheese, garlic powder, sweet paprika powder, and salt.
Even though I love Polish food, I prefer cooking with Italian pasta. I always use Barilla.
Also, in Poland, people usually buy a block of cheese, then grate them by themselves. You can use any cheese you prefer, but Parmesan gives the best flavor! I also prefer to use a thicker grater, so that the cheese doesn’t coagulate.
How To Make Mouth-Watering Polish Spaghetti
Making this Polish spaghetti with fried sausages meal is easier than you think. Simply cook the spaghetti in the amount of water mentioned on the packet.
While the spaghetti is cooking, dice the sausage and fry in another pan. Place it on a plate, and cook the tomato paste with spices in the same pan.
Place the cooked pasta on plates and ladle some hot tomato sauce on top. Top this with fried kielbasa sausage and cheese and enjoy!

I have fresh kielbasa should I cook it first before frying
Yes, it’s better to cook it first for 10-15 minutes.
This may be one style of Polish spaghetti, but it is certainly not the only one, My family’s recipe is published in the 2016 (I think) on Page 109 of the Sunday Suppers section of the Gooseberry Patch cookbook >Grandma;s Kitchen. It really is delicious, but there;s an error in the instructions, The second line should read:”Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat AND FRY ONIONS until just beginning to brown.” I hope readers were able to figure hat out and not think they were supposed to brown the oil. Yuck!
