Skillet Four-Cheese "Baked" Pasta
To save a dish, be sure to use an ovenproof skillet when making this 30-minute recipe. Add the pasta, sauce, and cheese to the sauteed sausage, peppers, and onions and bake in the skillet until hot and bubbly.
Ingredients
-
1 pound rotini pasta or penne
-
3/4 pound hot Italian sausage
-
2 sweet red peppers
-
1 large onion (see Note)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 jar (26 ounces) marinara sauce
-
2 cups shredded Italian four-cheese blend
Directions
1.
Heat oven to 450 F. Cook pasta following package directions. Drain.
2.
While pasta is cooking, cut sausage into 1/2-inch slices. Seed and slice peppers and slice onion for a total of 4 cups. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, peppers and onions. Cook, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers and onions are tender and the sausage is cooked through. Add sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the drained pasta and 1 cup of the cheese.
3.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over the pasta and bake at 450 F for 8 minutes or until cheese melts and casserole starts to bubble. Cool 5 minutes before serving. Note: Buy precut peppers and onions in the supermarket produce aisle to save prep time.
