Instructions

1 Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and pour in the oil. Toss in the
sausage, stirring until it begins to brown (approx. 3 mins). Add the onion and
garlic, sautéing until they are lightly browned (approx. 3 minutes more). Pour
in the tomatoes, add the herb sprigs and one cup water, stirring until
everything is boiling. Reduce the heat and allow everything to simmer, with a
lid on, for 10 minutes.
2 Discard the herb sprigs and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Spice it up with some
pepper, then enjoy it right away or store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or
freeze for a maximum of 2 months.
3 Now, it's time to cook the pasta. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an
11 by 13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
4 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until it's al
dente yet still slightly firm. Drain off the water afterwards.
5 Combine the cooked pasta, quick tomato sauce, cubed mozzarella, half of the
Parmesan, black pepper and crushed red pepper in a large bowl and give it a good
toss. Move the mixture to your prepped baking pan. Place the mozzarella slices
on top of the pasta and add a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan. Bake until
it's lightly browned and hot, about half an hour. Serve while it's still
steaming!
