1 lb link sausage (regular OR italian)
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 (4 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained
½ tsp salt
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp oregano
6 oz spaghetti, cooked according to pkg directions and drained
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut sausage links into bite-size pieces. Cook in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring occasionally. Drain off any drippings; set sausage aside. Combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, mushrooms, salt, dried basil and oregano in a large bowl. Add spaghetti and reserved sausage; mix well. Spoon into a lightly greased 1 ½ qt casserole dish; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 20-30 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with fresh basil and tomato slices, if desired. Serve hot.
