Comment préparer Weeknight Cavatini

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.
While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add to the bowl with the sausage.
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.
Top with half of the pepperoni and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers: sauce, remaining pasta, remaining pepperoni, remaining mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle chopped basil evenly over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
