SPICY PASTA CASSEROLE WITH SAUSAGE
This has to be one of my boys favorite dishes of all time. It is even better the second night and that is saying a lot! I try to make extra and freeze for a quick week night meal. Toss a salad, slice some bread and you have a wonderful hearty full of flavor and love meal.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot brown the ground beef with sausage(remove sausage from casing and break apart as you brown it) add onion,garlic,red pepper flakes,and italian seasoning. Cook until the onion is translucent.
- 2. Add to the ground beef and sausage the fire roasted tomatoes along with the regular diced tomatoes. Stir to blend well.
- 3. Once blended add your zucchini, green peppers, mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and let simmer approx 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4. Meanwhile cook pasta according to directions for al dente. Drain but do not rinse.
- 5. Preheat oven to 350. Put pasta in a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Add pasta sauce a ladle at a time, mixing after each ladle (there will be sauce left over) until you reach your desired consistency. "I say this because some like it saucy while others prefer less"
- 6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and bake 30 - 40 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
