Non-Dairy Baked Penne Pasta image

This is a tasty lactose-free baked pasta dish that I serve with a garden salad and slices of garlic bread. My family loves it! See my note about making this into a vegan or vegetarian dish.

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
1 (1 pound) package whole wheat penne pasta
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
6 mild Italian sausages
2 (24 ounce) jars tomato and basil pasta sauce (such as Bertolli®), divided
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (10 ounce) block mozzarella-style vegan cheese (such as Follow Your Heart®), shredded
2 (8 ounce) packages shredded mozzarella-style vegan cheese (such as Daiya®)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9x13-inch baking dishes with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water with olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil; add whole wheat penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Cook and stir turkey, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, remaining salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a large skillet over medium-low heat until turkey is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Place sausages in a pot and cover with cold water; bring water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until sausages are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Remove and discard sausage casings; chop sausage and stir into turkey mixture. Stir penne, 1 1/2 jars tomato-basil sauce, diced tomatoes, shredded block of mozzarella-style vegan cheese, 1 package shredded mozzarella-style vegan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and remaining black pepper into turkey-sausage mixture.
  • Spread the remaining tomato-basil sauce in the bottoms of the prepared baking dishes. Divide turkey-sausage mixture between the baking dishes and top each with remaining shredded mozzarella-style cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

This pasta was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used a whole wheat pasta and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped broccoli to the sauce, and it was a great addition. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This pasta was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used a gluten-free pasta and it worked perfectly. I also added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the sauce, and it was even better. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
