Camp David Spaghetti Recipe with Italian Sausage

Ingredients

• 2 Italian sausage links, casings removed
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 bay leaf
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients for the Camp David Spaghetti recipe.
2. Slice the Italian sausages lengthwise, keeping the links attached on one side. Lay them flat in a large skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, and olive oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and the ground beef is browned and crumbly, approximately 10 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of drippings from the skillet.
4. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, basil, bay leaf, and black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
5. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's tender yet firm to the bite, around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the cooked spaghetti.
6. Stir the drained spaghetti directly into the prepared tomato sauce.
7. Divide the sauced spaghetti among individual oven-safe baking dishes or plates. Top each serving with a cooked half sausage and generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese is melted and starts to brown, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your Camp David Spaghetti!
