Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta and cook al dente according to package directions.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
Return sausage and mushrooms to the skillet. Add marinara sauce; heat through.
In a deep (9x13 inch) casserole dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom.
Layer half of the cooked pasta over the sauce.
