Spaghetti, Camp David Style

Spaghetti, Camp David Style

1 pkg (abt 5) Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp minced roasted garlic
24-oz jar Gia Russa's Hot Sicilian pasta sauce
15-oz can stewed tomatoes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
16-oz hot cooked spaghetti
Grated Parmesan cheese

Slice the sausages lengthwise, leaving them attached along one side. Spread them out flat in a large skillet in the olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, turning once, until the sausages are browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. Place the ground chuck, garlic salt, pepper, onion and garlic into the skillet and stir over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until the onion is translucent and the beef is browned and crumbly. Drain off fat. Stir in pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes and italian seasoning, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes to blend flavors. Preheat oven to 350^. Mix the hot cooked spaghetti into the sauce and place on oven safe plates. Place a cooked, opened sausage over each serving, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place the plates in the hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes until cheese has melted and begun to brown. This was very good! I especially liked the parmesan crusted sausage.
