Italian Sausage & Alfredo Pasta Bake
This Italian Sausage & Alfredo Pasta Bake is easy to make and is fairly economical. You could add other veggies if you'd like, but usually, I like to keep it pretty simple. I like to keep my veggies "noticeable" in this dish, however, feel free to make them smaller if you want.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound penne or other pasta
- 1 jar Alfredo sauce or use homemade Alfredo sauce
- 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup red onion chopped
- ½ cup green bell pepper chopped
- 4 ounces Mushrooms chopped
- 4 - 6 ounces Mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, brown and crumble the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain. Set the sausage aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Saute the red onion and bell pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- In a large bowl (or the same pan the pasta was cooked in), combine the pasta, sausage, veggies and Alfredo sauce. Mix well. Spread evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Top with Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This is perfect with any short cut pasta!
