Ingredients
1 Tbs olive oil
15 oz chicken sausage, casings removed if necessary
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 ( 14 oz ) bag of mixed frozen pepper strips
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (14.5 ounces) no salt added petite diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups Wholesome Pantry marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups sliced white mushrooms
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
8 oz elbow pasta made from chickpeas
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim low-moisture mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In large deep nonstick skillet, cook sausage as label directs, breaking up sausage with side of spoon; transfer sausage to bowl.

 

2. In same skillet, add oil, garlic, peppers and onion; cook and stir over medium heat 6 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes, marinara sauce, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, sausage, 2 cups water and salt to taste; heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

 

3. Spoon just enough sausage-vegetable mixture to cover bottom of 13 x 9-inch baking dish; evenly top with uncooked pasta, remaining sausage mixture and cheese.

 

4. Cover with foil; bake 50 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Makes about 10 cups. Freeze leftovers in an airtight container.

 

If making vegetarian, swap out the regular Italian sausage, and select the plant-based substitute.
