This recipe is quite flexible, so feel free to use your favorite type of sausage (vegan or otherwise). For this recipe, we really love the flavor and spice of Beyond Meat Hot Italian sausages (which in our opinion, aren't that spicy). We've also made this recipe with Beyond Meat Mild Italian sausages, and increased the amount of red pepper flakes to compensate. That said, there are a lot of plant-based sausage brands out there, so use the ones you like best!
