Time 1h29m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package whole grain penne pasta
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
2 zucchini, diced
2 yellow squash, diced
2 (24 ounce) jars pasta sauce, divided
1 (4 ounce) can whole black olives
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Cook and stir ground beef and Italian sausage in a skillet until browned and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Drain excess grease, reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  • Cook and stir zucchini and yellow squash in the reserved grease until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 3/4 cup pasta sauce in the bottom of a 9x11-inch casserole dish.
  • Pour remaining pasta sauce into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in zucchini and yellow squash, whole olives, and sliced olives. Cook and stir until pasta sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Layer half of the ground meat mixture, penne, hot pasta sauce, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese over the pasta sauce in the casserole dish. Repeat layers once more.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and layers are heated through, about 30 minutes.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a different type of pasta than the one called for, but it still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but this dish was still really good! The squash and zucchini were flavorful and the sauce was delicious.

This was a great recipe! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more garlic to the sauce.
