Again...my mom to
the rescue! She scored big in the meat department the other day and
brought me some Italian sausage. So I whipped up this easy casserole for
dinner. I wish I'd had some of my homemade pasta sauce leftover but I
didn't and had to settle for the jarred stuff...and was happy to have it
on hand! Not only is this casserole good, it's a *snap* to throw
together!
Snappy Italian Casserole
1 pound Italian sausage links– sliced into coins
1 medium onion – diced
1 green bell pepper – diced
2 cloves garlic – minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, but good!)
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese – divided use
1 26-ounce jar pasta sauce
8 ounces rotini pasta - cooked and drained (I like rotini because of the swirls...they hold the pasta!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large skillet, sauté onion, garlic and bell pepper until tender.
Add sliced sausage and cook until almost done. Sprinkle with seasonings then stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese.
Stir in pasta sauce and cooked pasta. Turn into a 9x13 inch casserole dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes or until bubbly.
