Steps:
- Cook pasta just until al dente (where it still has some bite). The pasta will continue to bake in the oven later, so you don't want it to be too soft.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet sauté sausage, bell pepper, and mushrooms until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain.
- Combine sausage mixture with cooked pasta, marinara sauce, half-and-half, and Parmesan.
- Pour half of the pasta mixture into a 13x9-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Layer half of the mozzarella slices on top.
- Add another layer of pasta and a final layer of mozzarella.
- Bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, for about 25-30 minutes (or until warmed through and cheese is melted).

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to the package directions for very al dente, about 7 minutes. (It will continue to cook in the oven so you want to undercook it just a bit.) Drain and add the pasta back to the pot. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and set the oven rack in the middle position.
- Heat a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage to a plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan and set over low heat (if you don't have enough fat in the pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil). Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Add the cream, ⅓ cup of the pecorino Romano, cooked sausage, and basil to the pan; stir until evenly combined. Carefully pour the contents of the sauté pan into the large pot with the pasta and gently stir to combine. Spoon half of the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella and half the remaining pecorino Romano. Spoon the remaining pasta mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and pecorino Romano. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the cheese has melted and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with more basil and serve.
- Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The dish can be assembled, covered, and refrigerated for up to 2 days in advance, or frozen for up to 3 months. (If frozen, defrost in the refrigerator overnight.) Whether refrigerated or frozen and defrosted, bake, covered tightly with aluminum foil, in a 425°F oven for 25 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned and the pasta is hot throughout.

- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Remove to a plate, blot with paper towels to remove any excess oil, and set aside.

Add the bell peppers, onion, basil, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring to coat the rice. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and canned tomatoes in their juices, stirring well. Bring to a boil, stir again, then cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved sausage slices until evenly distributed, then re-cover the skillet and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, until most of the remaining liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a shallow 3-quart baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until very al dente; you still want it to retain a little bite. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook and crumble with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and fennel; cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and add the cream. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water from the pasta. Turn up the heat to medium high and simmer rapidly to thicken the sauce and blend the flavors, about 10 minutes.
- Add the rigatoni and basil and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in half each of the mozzarella and parmesan. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PASTA CASSEROLE
This is a super-easy, super-quick casserole dish that I came up with last week. I used Italian turkey sausage that my husband had grilled while we were barbecuing the day before. I also used wheat rotini pasta, but I think any kind of pasta would work. The rest of the quantities are just estimates ... you could use more or less depending on your tastes. I used whole cumin, fennel, thyme, and rosemary and lightly ground them with a pestle, but you could also use pre-ground. My husband, who is not usually a casserole lover, has been raving about this ever since, and my daughter, who usually hates zucchini, cleaned her plate without even a mention of it.

Steps:
- 1. Boil pasta in a well salted pot of water. Undercook pasta by 2 minutes according to the packaging. 2. Spray a large pot with your preferred cooking spray, and pan fry the fully cooked sausages to crisp the outside. Once browned, set aside. 3. Give your pan another quick spray, and cook the Italian sausage until cooked through. 4. If your kids eat vegetables, you can saute spinach, kale, mushrooms, or even artichokes here to bulk this up even more. Alas, my kids don't eat many green things these days. 5. Ladle in 8 cups of sauce into the pan if using an oven safe pan. When adding the sauce, scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any brown bits of flavor. If not, pour sauce and turkey sausage into a 9"x13" oven safe dish. 6. Slice the precooked sausage and mix into the dish. 7. When the pasta is ready, add pasta into the dish and mix to evenly coat everything. 8. Mix in 2/3 of the cheese directly into the pasta. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. 9. If you are prepping this for later in the week, wrap tightly and store in your fridge for up to three days. Bake at 350, covered for 20 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil, and cook for another 10. Broil at the end to get the bubbly cheese (it's optional, but makes it even better). If you are cooking it now, cook at 350 until all the cheese is melty (about 10-15 minutes). Finish with the broil on high to get that golden brown cheese bubbles; if you've never used a broiler before, keep a close eye on it and check it every 20-30 seconds. Mine was done in about 1-2 minutes, but burnt cheese can happen fast (speaking from personal experience). Bonus points (garnish): Top with some fresh basil, oregano, or a few dashes of Italian seasoning.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly grease your 2.5-quart casserole or baking dish, or a 9 x 13 baking pan with extra virgin olive oil.
- Cook your rotini, penne, rigatoni, or ziti pasta per the package instructions, minus about two minutes for an al dente texture. Drain and rinse in cool water to stop the cooking process.
- Transfer the cooked pasta to your prepared baking dish.
- Pour marinara or spaghetti sauce over the cooked pasta layer.
- Cut your Italian sausage links into chunks and press them into the top of the sauce layer.
- Grate mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses then spread over the top of the sausage layer.
- Top with fresh cut basil and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 35-40 minutes. The casserole should be bubbling around the edges and the sausage pieces should have an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) when done.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with more cheese, basil, or chopped parsley if desired.
