There is a deeply discounted store down the road from me. Every time I browse the aisle I am deeply touched by my eclectic surroundings just brimming with special buys.
This week's special buy was Jimmy Dean's sausage for $1 pound lying in a multitude of rolls in a cramped mini freezer. I picked up several and decided on a family favorite.
1 package Pork Sausage Roll
1 pound rigatoni or penne pasta
1 24-ounce jar spaghetti sauce
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta and remove from heat 1 minute before suggested cook time; drain and set aside.
Cook and stir sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in sauce, Italian seasoning, salt and cooked pasta. Layer half of pasta mixture in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Mix ricotta and 1 cup of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Spread over pasta. Top with remaining pasta and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with parsley.
Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
