Brown sausage then add spaghetti sauce, cover and simmer on medium low for 20 minutes. Water in pot should be at a boil, add spaghetti noodles and cook until tender. Drain noodles and place back in pot. Pour sauce into pot and mix well with butter and almost all Parmesan cheese, reserving a little for topping.
