Easy Fast Dinner



With stuff you can actually find in your cupboard or in my case... a teenytiny grocery store.

I'm a HUGE fan of food, i'm not that great of a cook... slight problem right?
I'm also sooo sick of making the same 10 dishes over and over again, sick of cooking them, sick of eating them, just bored :( So I have been hooked on http://www.pintrest.com/ and I have tried several recipes. Here's one that was a winner in 3 ways. 1. it was easy 2. it was cheap 3. it was yummy

HERE IT IS ... start salivating ...... now!


Italian Sausage Noodle Bake :)













Now, I modified it from this original recipe juuuust a little to fit my tastes... and my undying love for cheese


Here's what you'll need


1 lb italian sausage
1 lb rotini or spiral noodles

1 jar of 4 cheese spaghetti sauce... I found 6 cheese sauce and heard a chorus of angels ~!
1 bag mozzerella cheese (shredded)
1 bag italian blend cheese ( shredded)


What to do with that stuff....

1. boil water, and cook up those noodles
2. while you are watching your noodles cook your sausage thoroughly. I added some italian seasonings and just a pinch of red pepper flakes cause I like a lil' bite

3. Once your noodles have reached al'dente consistency, drain them and toss them into a large bowl.

4. when your sausage is cooked through throw that in the bowl with the noodles.
3. dump in your pasta sauce

4. Here's where things went down hill.. the recipe calls for a cup of mozzerella in the mix... I put two because Cheese is the fairy dust of the dairy world...

Once you have combined those things mix them thoroughly. Get an oven safe pan, spray Pam, or olive oil in the pan, preheat your oven to 350, put your mixture in your baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven.. keep an eye on it cause you don't want your noodles to dry out. after 15-20 sprinkle more cheese on top... I probably put another cup on there... but if you have lactose problems or are watching your waisteline like me... oh hell, go cheese CRAZY!


Bake untill cheese is melty and gooey... remove from oven...


EAT
SMILE :)
