Baked Italian Sausage Rotelle

Photo Courtesy of Favorite Family Recipes

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

2 tsp. minced garlic

1 pkg. uncooked ground Italian Sausage (I used 16 oz. ground turkey and added 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning)

1 pkg. curly, bowtie, or wagonwheel noodles, cooked

1 jar (24 oz.) four cheese spaghetti sauce

1 tsp. red pepper flakes

2 cups mozzarella cheese (divided)

Directions:

Roll the ground Italian sausage into small balls. In a large fry pan, brown the garlic in olive oil. Then add sausage balls and cook until browned on the outside and completely cooked through (this will take about 10 minutes – cut a meatball in half to determine if they are fully cooked).  In a large bowl toss together the sausage with all the other ingredients reserving 1 cup of cheese.  Pour pasta mixture into a 9x13 inch pan lined with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 25 min. Top with remaining cheese and bake 5 more minutes.
