Baked Ziti with Turkey Sausage

This is one of my personal recipes.



Ingredients:
1 pound penne or ziti rigate
Course salt
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano cheese
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 jar pasta sauce
1 pound bulk turkey sausage



Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and salt the water. Cook the pasta al dente, with a bite to it.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the EVOO and brown the sausage.



Layer the remaining ingredients in 13 X 9-inch pan. Start with sauce in the bottom of pan. Add half of the pasta, then 1/3 of the cheeses. Repeat layers ending with cheese on top.



Heat in the oven on 350 F for 30 to 45 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and browned.



Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - There is nothing like a big bowl of pasta.

Randy - Thumb Down - Randy doesn't like pasta.

Nathan - Thumbs Up - Nathan ate a plate of the pasta. He enjoyed the sausage.

Leftovers: Nathan and I ate the leftovers for lunch for several days. They were delicious.
