Ingredients
- 14 ounces chicken sausage (casings removed)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 medium red pepper (chopped)
- 1 medium yellow pepper (chopped)
- 3 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes (drained)
- 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or jarred)
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning ( or dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded )
- 8 ounces uncooked DeLallo whole wheat
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a large deep non-stick skillet, brown the sausage over high heat until cooked through, seasoning with a pinch of salt and breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Set aside on a dish.
-
Add olive oil to the skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the onions, garlic and peppers; sauté until the vegetables soft, about 6 to 7 minutes. Return the sausage to the skillet along with the remaining ingredients except for the pasta and cheese.
-
Bring to a boil and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Spoon just enough of the sausage/vegetable mixture to cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
-
Cover with the uncooked pasta. Spoon remaining sauce mixture evenly over the top to cover the pasta and sprinkle with cheese.
-
Cover tight with foil and bake 50-55 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Divide into 8 servings.
