Ingredients:
- 300 g spaghetti
- 4 fresh sausages (preferably pork or beef, depending on taste)
- 100 g ham
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- 3-4 olives (optional, you can use green or black olives, depending on preference)
- Salt (for water)
- Olive oil (for frying)

Step 1: Boiling the spaghetti
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt. When the water reaches boiling point, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions, usually between 8 and 10 minutes, until al dente. Don’t forget to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Preparing the meat
While the spaghetti is boiling, take a non-stick pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cut the sausages into thin pieces and add them to the pan. Fry them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and crispy (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3: Adding the ham and garlic
Once the sausages are ready, cut the ham into thin strips and add it to the pan. Let it fry together with the sausages for another 2-3 minutes. Then, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, adding them to the pan. The garlic will give an intense and delicious flavor to the dish. Cook everything for another 1-2 minutes, until the garlic turns golden, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4: Combining the ingredients
When the spaghetti is ready, drain it and add it to the pan over the meat mixture. Mix well to combine the flavors. If you wish, you can also add the olives, cut in half, for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 5: Serving
Transfer the pasta to plates and, if desired, you can garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a more appealing look. These pasta with ham and sausages pair perfectly with a glass of white or red wine, depending on your preferences.

Useful tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, you can also add spices like oregano or basil while frying the meat.
- If you want to turn the recipe into a vegetarian dish, replace the sausages and ham with mushrooms or tofu.
- This recipe can easily be adapted by adding vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini, which can be fried together with the meat.
