Ingredients
-
Sausage:
1 lb lean ground turkey
2-1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp dried pepper flakes
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Rigatoni & Sauce
6 cups whole wheat rigatoni (Organic)
3 cups red or yellow pepper, sliced thin
3 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
5 Tbs tomato paste - no salt added
2 Tbs dried oregano (or 6 Tbs fresh)
1 Tbs honey
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
3 Tbs grated parmesan cheese
Directions
To make sausage:
combine the turkey, fennel, pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Mix well. Heat a non-stick skillet over med-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it. Spray with olive oil (I use a seasoned cast iron skillet and don't need to oil it at all). Cook sausage breaking up with a wooden spoon, for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Rigatoni & Sauce:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, return the skillet to the heat. Add the peppers and cook 3-5 minutes until tender. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, honey, parsley and garlic powder. Stir to mix well. Cook until slightly thickened.
Spray 2 9x13" glass baking pans with Pam. Divide the sausage, pasta and sauce into the pans. Stir to combine. Sprinkle each casserole with 1-1/2 Tbs parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil. (Put one casserole in freezer and cook the other, if desired)
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until heated through and top is starting to brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Each casserole makes 6 1-1/2 cup servings.
