Simple and easy to make. This delicious recipe from an Amish kitchen only uses five ingredients. I have enjoyed this in Amish-Mennonite homes as well as at fellowship dinners. It is a favorite of all ages.
This recipe uses fusilli, although any pasta can be used. Fusilli is a curly pasta macaroni-type noodle. It is commonly called rotini in the United States.
This delicious dish can be made with ground beef, but the Italian sausage really gives it a rich flavor. You could even use ground turkey or ground chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fusilli, cooked according to package directions
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella (divided)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan (divided)
- 16 ounces spaghetti sauce. More or less sauce can be used according to your preferences.
Directions
- Chop the sausage up into small pieces, about the size of a marble.
- Cook the sausage until cooked through.
- Combine the sausage, cooked pasta, half the mozzarella, half the Parmesan, and the spaghetti sauce in a 13×9-inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 30 minutes.
- Serve with garlic toast, a fresh garden salad, and some mint tea for a filling and delicious meal.
