Corey's Pasta Bake
Adapted from the Hunt's recipe for Spicy Italian Pasta Bake.
This is great for family and pot-luck dinners.
Ingredients
* Cooking Spray
* 1 12oz. box rotini or penne pasta
* 1 lbs Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
* 2 medium or 1 large yellow onion, chopped
* 1 green pepper, cut into thin strips of around 1 1/2" long
* 1 pkg (12 oz.) white mushrooms, sliced in half
* 2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
* 1 tsp dried basil
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 2 tsp dried parsley
* 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 13"x9" (or larger) baking dish with cooking spray. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in large nonstick skillet (or wok) over medium-high heat, breaking apart with spoon to crumble. Add onion, green peppers and mushrooms. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Add tomatoes and spices; heat 2 minutes or until bubbling.
3. Add pasta to tomato mixture; stir until pasta is well coated. Spoon half of mixture into baking dish. Top with half of the cheese. Repeat layers once more. Bake 15 minutes or until hot.
