    I used a no meat sauce, but here is a link to two of my favorite pasta sauces with meat. These could be used as the garnish sauce. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-pork/garden-fresh-pasta-sauce-with-italian-sausage.html https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-other-sauce-spread/italian-sausage-pasta-sauce.html

    4 sausage links made about 1 3/4 c of cooked sausage. To that I added 1/4 c of pasta sauce. I used Pomodori Gourmet Sauce, but but any flavorful vegetarian pasta sauce would work. http://www.pomodorifoods.com/
