Ingredients
- 16 ounces pasta DeLallo Shellbows brand
- 16 ounces Italian sausage meat
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (25.25 oz) jar spicy vodka sauce DeLallo Pomodoro brand
- 1 handful basil torn, fresh
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the shellbows. Cook them for 11 minutes (one minute less than al dente). Drain and set aside until needed.
- Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Meanwhile, add the sausage meat and onions to a large ovenproof skillet (at least 12"). If you prefer, you can use a regular skillet and transfer everything to a baking dish for step 6. Sauté for 10 minutes or until browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then add the spicy vodka sauce and basil to the skillet. Let it heat through for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well, then spread it in an even layer.
- Top with the cheese and bake for 15 minutes, then broil if desired to brown the cheese. Season with salt & pepper if needed and enjoy!
Notes
- For a higher sauce-to-pasta ratio, use 12 oz. pasta (3/4 of the package).
- If you prefer a milder vodka sauce, try DeLallo's Pomodoro Creamy Vodka Sauce.
