Notes
Too hot? Use one or two chipotles, or regular sausage instead of hot.
Before you add the cream, pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon and sausage fat.
Save a cup of the pasta water before you drain the spaghetti. If the sauce gets too thick, loosen it with a splash.
For easier browning, squeeze the sausage out of its casings and break it into bite-size pieces.
