• 1 (20 ounce) package Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
• 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook the sausage, beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
