For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the sausage with a finely diced onion and a clove of garlic. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top before baking adds a delightful salty and nutty note. Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as sweet Italian or spicy chorizo. If you don't have spaghetti sauce on hand, you can use crushed tomatoes seasoned with Italian herbs, garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
