Just did my first pasta bake last night, was wanting a huge pan of leftovers for work
1 box rotini
2 pounds Italian sausage
1 and a 1/2 minced green pepper
2 fat teaspoons of garlic
2 fat pinches red pepper flake
1 jar of store bought tomato sauce
1 can of basil, garlic, oregano diced tomato
1 well rounded tablespoon sugar
2 well rounded tablespoon of EV olive oil
2 small cans of mushrooms
1 pound shredded mozzarella
1 cup or so of water
Cook the pork, set aside
Boil the pasta
Mix pasta with cooked pork and all other ingredients... pour into casserole pans and go 375 for 30 minutes
Holy crap it made one large and one small pasta casserole, with enough left over frozen to make another 2 servings
It rocks, great choice of dish when you want leftovers... love that fennel seed in Italian sausage, its not the good stuff without it
