Lisa's Baked Pasta

This is my good friend Lisa's go-to recipe for pasta with summer veggies.

1 package whole wheat organic penne
1 jar pasta sauce (or just use a my homemade tomato sauce)
2-3 C shredded mozzorella
1 C shredded parmisan
Veggies (Onion, Mushrooms, Squash, Zuchinni, Peppers, Grape tomatoes - whatever you have in the frige)
Bag of baby spinach
Basil
Red pepper
Spicey Sausage (removed from casings)

Brown sausage and drain off any fat
Chop veggies*
Cook pasta per instructions
Combine the sausage, veggies, pasta, parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella and spinach. Stir together and place in a casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes...

Should make enough to cook a portion of it to eat right away and then freeze a small casserole sized dish for later. Great way to include whatever summer veggies you like...

*You can also roast the chopped veggies (sprinkle EVOO, salt, pepper, red pepper for extra spice and basil) at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes*
