Notes

This recipe is flexible when it comes to the sausage. Use your favorite smoked or fresh sausage, depending on the flavor you want.

If you like a little extra heat, use a spicier Creole seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Cheddar or Parmesan cheese makes a nice finishing touch, although the spaghetti is flavorful enough to serve without it.
