Ingredients
2 links Capital Italian Sausage
Rotini Pasta (freshly cooked or leftover)
Tomato sauce
White wine (optional)
Peas (or any veggies)
Olive oil
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Remove the casing from 2-3 links of Capital Italian Sausage. Brown them in a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil until they are cooked ¾ of the way. Slice the sausage and set it aside.
- Steam frozen peas with boiling water and a pinch of salt.
- In a pot or saucepan, combine some premade tomato pasta sauce with a splash of white wine, peas, and Italian sausage. Heat everything through.
- Add a package worth of half-cooked, short pasta (like rotini or penne) to the pot of sauce, and mix everything together so the pasta is well coated.
- Transfer to a baking dish and top with mozzarella, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Cover in foil, and cook at 375°F for 10-15 minutes. (reduce the time to 5-10 minutes if using leftover pasta).
- Remove the foil and broil until golden if desired. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of broth to provide extra moisture.
- Let stand, serve and enjoy!
