How to Make Upside Down Fettuccine Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet (12-inch recommended), brown 1 lb Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Drain off excess grease.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, breaking them up slightly with a fork.
  6. Bring to a simmer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or more, to taste) over the tomato mixture.
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  11. Add 1 lb fettuccine (cooked al dente according to package directions) and toss to coat evenly with the egg mixture.
  12. Spread the fettuccine mixture over the Parmesan cheese in the skillet.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  14. Carefully invert the skillet onto a serving plate.
  15. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
  16. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
