I don’t know what I would do without pasta when it comes to cooking for the family and particularly the babies.  They love pasta and when I can’t think of anything else to cook, or if the ole’ pantry is getting low – I know I can whip up a batch of some type of pasta and create a hearty meal everyone will enjoy.   I love to use a variety of pastas…corkscrew, rainbow, penne – you name it.  While I probably use ground beef or ground turkey in most of my pasta dishes, I also love to use chorizo or Italian sausage too.  My fave is a mixture of meets to get great flavor impact.  

Pasta is also a great way to sneak in some veggies.  No – not necessarily sneak them in for my babies, but for my hubby.  LOL  I think you will enjoy this easy recipe.

Pasta Cooking Tips: 

  • Fill your pot properly with enough water so the pasta is completely submerged.  *(reserve some pasta water for thickening)
  • Salt your water like the sea.  If you aren’t sure if there is enough salt, give it some more. 
  • Bring your water to a rapid boil prior to adding your pasta.
  • Drop your pasta and immediately stir it. 
  • Check the package for proper cooking times as various pastas have different cook times.

    My husband likes only a few pastas, but I bet he would like the Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole. We use smoked turkey sausage instead of Italian because of the spices. But hubby loves spaghetti with meat sauce. Thanks for this recipe. He may actually eat macaroni! Best wishes ?

      You can use any kind of meat. I know this sounds crazy but I truly feel the red wine is what makes it so good. And it cooks out so no worries if you don’t like wine. Just use your smoked turkey sausage instead. Hope he likes it. 🙂 Barb

    Hi Barb! Oooh, you’ve got a new photo in the corner! I clicked on the email link to see your favorite kitchen gadgets,but it took me to the recipe instead. I love making this…. I usually add bell pepper. I really wanted to see more info about the ground beef thingy. I use a wooden thing….like a wooden spoon but it’s flat and has an edge on it, which helps to break up the large pieces of hamburger. Where did you find this wonderful invention ???
