Notes
Tips:
You can choose to substitute mild sausage for hot sausage or turkey sausage.
Can you make this pasta in advance?
Yes! This can be prepared up to the point of baking and then be refrigerated overnight. Just be sure to allow extra baking time because the pasta bake will be starting from a chilled state.
