Ingredients :
4 Italian sausage links
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
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package dry spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Slice sausages lengthwise, leaving links attached along one side; lay flat in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 5 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
Add ground beef, onion, garlic, and olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until onion is translucent and beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes, oregano, salt, basil, bay leaf, and black pepper; simmer, uncovered, over low heat until flavors have blended, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard bay leaf.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Stir spaghetti into sauce.
Divide spaghetti and sauce among individual oven-safe baking dishes or plates; top each with a cooked half sausage and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
