Baked Spaghetti

This was really good. Everybody liked it and it made enough for 2 whole meals. I was worried about it not being enough due to only using 8 oz. of spaghetti noodles, but I shouldn't have.

Baked Spaghetti
1 lb. Italian sausage
1 24 oz. jar spaghetti sauce (I used CLASSICO CABERNET MARINARA WITH HERBS)
1 can tomato sauce, 15 oz
salt, pepper, sugar, Italian seasonings (or whatever seasonings you usually use in your spaghetti sauce)
8 oz. grated Mozzarella (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (I didn't measure this, but just added a good handful over the mozzarella)
8 oz spaghetti

Brown the sausage in a large skillet. Break the noodles in half and cook according to the package directions. Be sure to salt the water generously. (This is a crucial step in making any pasta that I don't ever skip! Trust me, it's worth it!) Drain and stir it together with the meat, sauces and extra spices. Put it into a casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or till hot and bubbly.
