CHEESY PENNE PASTA AND SMOKED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Casserole image

Smoked sausage is my new go to meat for a tight budget, so I have been searching for something to use it in besides Jambalaya. I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and loved it! I just had to share it! For a healthier casserole, I use whole wheat pasta, turkey smoked sausage, 98% fat free soup and low fat cheese.

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, divided

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, brown sausage in a skillet and drain. (I skipped this step since I was using fully cooked turkey smoked sausage and wouldn't have any fat to render).

  • Drain pasta and stir into sausage mixture.
  • Transfer to a greased 13 x 9 baking dish.
