Sausage Pie

A couple weeks ago (or so), I did a sausage pasta sauce thing. The idea here was to translate that to casserole.

It didn't go entirely according to plan. I didn't get a chance to go through Price Chopper to get the Cosentino's Hot Italian sausage, which is the bomb. So this is with Johnsonville's supposedly 'hot' Italian.



Luckily, when they lie blatantly about 'hot' on the label, there's an easy fix:



Aside from red pepper and some browned Italian Sausage that should have been better, we have:

12 oz whole wheat/cholesterol free noodles (the healthy version of egg noodles)
15 oz Classico Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
29 oz Classico Mushroom & Ripe Olive pasta sauce
12 oz Ricotta cheese
20 oz Soy-Sation mozzarella style fake cheese, shredded



Boil the noodles for about six minutes, then combine with browned sausage, sauces and Ricotta. Stir together with 12 oz or so of the 'mozzarella,' dosing liberally with flakes of red pepper. Fill 3 quart casserole dish with the mess, top with remaining shredded cheese, top with even more red pepper. Don't be afraid, red pepper is your friend.

Bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes and enjoy.
