Spray a 3-quart saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. Add sausage to pan. Cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. Add ground beef to pan. Cook and stir until ground beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Add Ro*tel, tomatoes, and tomato paste, breaking up tomatoes into chunks.

To serve, place hot linguine noodles onto each of 8 serving plates. Ladle sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and top each serving with an ounce of sour cream.
