Prep:15minCook:1h 40min
I got this recipe from a Navy chef who served it to presidents at Camp David, MD. I have served it to my family many times, and it is certainly fit for a president! It is best with a garden salad and crusty garlic bread.

Instructions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Stir spaghetti into sauce.
Step 7
Divide spaghetti and sauce among individual oven-safe baking dishes or plates; top each with a cooked half sausage and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
