Is there anything more comforting and wonderful than a baked pasta dish that is extremely cheesy? Nope. It’s the kind of dinner you want on a dreary, rainy day. It’s the kind of meal you want when you’re sad and you need comfort to fill you up. And it’s the kind of meal you want when you’ve been dieting and pretty much dying of starvation. It’s everything!
This Pasta Rustica recipe is super easy to assemble. You’ll be sautéing onion, garlic and sweet Italian sausage. Next you’ll add in canned chopped tomatoes and cooked penne pasta. Ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheese are also mixed in. Then the whole mess is spooned into a casserole dish and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
After a 30-minute bake in the oven, the cheese is all nice and melty, and the penne becomes perfectly crusty on top.
It all looks pretty tempting, doesn’t it? Next time you need some comfort food pasta, try this recipe. Everyone you’re feeding will thank you for it!
