I was looking for another quick dinner solution and stumbled upon this.  Yums!

Baked Pasta with Sausage and Tomatoes
ingredients
  • 1 (1 lb) package uncooked ziti (short tube-shaped pasta)
  • 1 lb hot turkey Italian sausage links
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbs tomato paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans petite-diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, and set aside.
  3. Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage, onion, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Add the tomato paste, salt, pepper, and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Combine cooked pasta, sausage mixture, and basil. Place half of the pasta mixture in a 4-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Top with half of mozzarella and half of Parmesan. Repeat. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
