What no sausage?

Adding a good Italian sausage seems like a great idea. Just never tried
it. How would you modify the recipe for the addition?

Drop the ground meat and add 5 pounds of sweet Italian sausage.

Pre-cook the sausage for 30 minutes in the oven at 350 F.

Cut it in bite sized pieces and add it to the sauce. Simmer for an hour or
two.

Remember to use fresh parmesan, not the Kraft crap.

We had spaghetti with sauce and sausage last night. Yummy.

NO! No bell peppers in spaghetti sauce. Ever.

Heck we just use the garlic Ragu and add some oregano and mushrooms. Who
has the time to make the sauce from scratch?

PS. Just brown the sausage. It will cook in the sauce. That way the flavor stays
in the sauce also.
