Not the best picture because I only remembered to take a picture of the masterpiece until AFTER it had been devoured and leftovers were placed into containers. After the success of the Apple Sausage Saute I decided to browse a few more recipes on the same website. I discovered a recipe for a baked ziti type of meal and my stomach cried out to me to make it. The recipe was called simply
Baked Pasta with Sausage, Tomatos and Cheese. I followed the instructions pretty closely, although I added a LOT of crushed red pepper because we like things spicy in our house and I added probably only a 1/4 cup or so of mozzarella using 2% pre-shredded cheese. The whole thing got flipped into a casserole and I ate 1/8th of it. If anything I'd like it to have a lot more tomatoes and the spice was a great addition. I'd probably also add a lot more basil - I was pretty conservative with it but it ended up being fantastic so no harm done. The container you see to your right has about 1/4th of the casserole stuffed in it, so if you can imagine me eating half of that, that's what I did.
Summary:
1 homemade biscuit made from Bisquick while stuffs was cooking (I was famished!)
1/8th of the (amazing) ziti casserole made with:
2 cans petite diced tomatoes
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4-1/2 cup 2% mozzarella cheese
fresh basil
crushed red pepper
1 pound of ziti
1 pound of hot Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
