Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked rotini pasta (9 oz)
  • 1 lb bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 small bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 oz sliced Canadian bacon, cut into fourths
  • 1 jar or can (14 or 15 oz) pizza sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded pizza cheese blend (3 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray. In 3-quart saucepan, cook and drain pasta as directed on package using minimum cook time. Return pasta to saucepan.
  • 2
    While pasta is cooking, cook sausage and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir sausage mixture, bell pepper, water, bacon, pizza sauce and mushrooms into pasta. Spoon pasta mixture into casserole. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • 3
    Cover casserole. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If pizza cheese unavailable, use equal parts of mozzarella and Cheddar.
  • tip 2
    Be sure to thoroughly drain the cooked pasta--a few hard shakes of the colander after the water drains will help. Excess cooking water clinging to the pasta will dilute the sauce.
  • tip 3
    Do you like Pavarotti? Ellington? Vivaldi? Not sure? Choose a night of the week to accompany dinner with some new tunes. Investigate a style of music you'd like to know better. Borrow CDs from the library, or dust off some forgotten selections from your own collection.
