ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA BAKE

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.
