Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz pasta penne or ziti
  • 1 lb Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Boil pasta 2 minutes less than package directions; drain.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Cook sausage, breaking up, until browned.
  3. Add onion, peppers, and garlic; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Season.
  4. Stir in marinara and simmer 3 minutes. Combine sauce with pasta in a baking dish.
  5. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes so it’s safe to scoop. Portion into containers for the freezer if you want extras.
