How to Make Nona's Italian Pasta Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sausage mixture, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
