A quick and easy homemade sausage makes this the perfect weeknight pasta dish. It's even better the next day after the flavors meld, so it makes a great leftovers lunch.

For a vegetarian version: Substitute 1 lb. tempeh for pork and beef. Crumble tempeh and mix with 4 Tbsp. water and spice rub. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Brown tempeh sausage mixture in 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Double the amount of wine, beer, and cream in the pasta sauce, as the tempeh really soaks up the liquid.

For a gluten-free version: Use gluten-free pasta and substitute Guinness with gluten-free beer or additional white wine.
