Recipe - Camp David Spaghetti

 





CAMP DAVID SPAGHETTI




CAMP DIVID SPAGHETTI - Recipe

From a NAVY COOK who cooked this dish for Presidents, Marines, and Naval personnel of the US Navy, and United States Marines. At CAMP DAVID. It's a a hearty crowd pleasing dish, made with meat sauce, served with Spaghetti & Italian Sausage. "What's not to Love?" A dish loved by Presidents Clinton, Bush, Biden, Obama, and Trump. You'll love it too!


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.
