Notes
- The sausage adds a ton of flavor to this casserole, but if you aren't a huge sausage fan then feel free to omit it or substitute it with ground beef.
- I used rotini pasta because I think the spirals are perfect for grabbing and holding sauce. Ziti would work well too as would mostaccioli.
- Your favorite jarred marinara sauce works perfectly well here. If you'd like to make your own, I highly suggest my homemade marinara sauce!
