ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA BAKEI was feeling like having lasagna - but didn't have GF lasagne noodles. Saw this recipe and tried it. The recipe posted below has my changes.
http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2012/10/baked-penne-with-italian-sausage.html 454 g dry brown rice macaroni (or other shape) pasta, cooked 500 g Winkler Farmer Sausage (its GF, dairy free and mostly sugar free) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1 jar spaghetti sauce 1 cup cashew ricotta 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped 1 tsp salt Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain. Chop the sausage and cook in a frying pan with the garlic. Add the basil, red pepper flakes and cook. (I didn't drain because there wasn't a lot of fat and it just adds flavour, but drain it before adding spices if you need to) Stir in the spaghetti sauce and pasta. Mix the cashew ricotta with the chopped spinach and salt together well. Grease a 9" pan put 1/2 the pasta in the bottom. Use your fingers and crumble the "cheese" mixture on the pasta. Top with the rest of the pasta. Bake at 350' 45-60 min. |
