Here’s an easy recipe to make in your dutch oven.
Italian Festival Bake
16 oz. rotini pasta
Jar of pasta sauce
16 oz. shredded cheese
Pkg. Johnsonville hot Italian sausage
Cook the pasta three minutes less than the package recommends. It will keep cooking in the oven later.
Set aside a mug of the starchy pasta water to add back in later because it helps stretch out the sauce. A trick from Rachael Ray.
Drain the pasta and let it sit in the colander while you use your pot to brown the sausage. Coat the pasta with a tiny bit of olive oil so it doesn’t start to stick to itself as it sits there. Remove the casings from the sausages and brown the meat the same way you would brown ground beef.
Do not drain the meat. Turn off the heat on the stove. Add the pasta back to the pot, pour in the sauce and the mug of starchy water and stir everything up.
Top with shredded mozzarella.
Put the lid on your dutch oven and bake it in the oven at 350° for 45 minutes.
