ITALIAN ROTINI CASSEROLE



Italian Rotini Casserole image

This is the most requested dish in our house. We use Italian chicken sausage that is made locally. I use half hot sausage and half sweet. It may be a little more than a pound. If you don't like rotini pasta - try using a penne pasta or any type you might prefer. We use whole wheat pasta from Trader Joe's.
