YIELDS: 4

PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 15 MINS

COOK TIME: 0 HOURS 45 MINS

TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR 0 MINS

INGREDIENTS

1 lb.

Italian sausage (hot or sweet), casings removed

1

large onion, diced

2

cloves garlic, minced

1

red bell pepper, diced

12 oz.

cavatappi

1 oz.

(16-oz.) jar marinara

4 c.

low-sodium chicken broth

Kosher salt

1/4 c.

half-and-half or heavy cream

2 c.

shredded mozzarella, divided

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350° In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until seared and no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes more.

Add cavatappi and stir until coated, then pour over marinara and broth and season with salt. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pasta is al dente and almost all liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Stir in half-and-half and simmer until mostly absorbed, 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in half of mozzarella.

Transfer mixture to a large baking dish and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 10 minutes.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
