Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
  2. Cook pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and put into a large bowl.
  3. While the pasta is boiling, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
  4. Remove the sausage from the pan with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl with the pasta.
  5. Toss the pasta and sausage with the sauce, sausage, ½ cup of the Romano cheese, and the diced mozzarella.
  6. Pour the mixture into the baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup Romano cheese and the shredded mozzarella. (Make-Ahead Note: At this point, you can tightly cover the pan with foil and refrigerate for up to one day or freeze for up to 3 months. If frozen, place in the refrigerator the day before you plan to bake and then bake according to the directions below.)
  7. Bake, covered, for 45 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted. Uncover, increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until sauce and cheese are bubbling.
