Healthier, tastier twist on classic dish with more nutrients. Easy to make and bake.
Ingredients:
  • 3 3/4 cups uncooked regular or multigrain rotini pasta (12 oz)
  • 3/4 lb lean Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (6 cups)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 jar (25.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic Italian herb pasta sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 package (6 oz) sliced turkey pepperoni
  • 1 bag (8 oz) shredded reduced-fat Italian cheese blend (2 cups)
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta in a 5-quart Dutch oven according to package instructions, without adding salt. Drain and return pasta to the Dutch oven.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage crumbles over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked; drain if needed.
  • Combine onion and mushrooms with sausage in a skillet, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in pasta sauce and basil, heating until just boiling.
  • Combine the sausage mixture, pepperoni, and 1 1/2 cups of cheese with the pasta in a Dutch oven, mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish without greasing. Cover the baking dish with a foil sheet sprayed with cooking spray, sprayed side facing down.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and thoroughly heated. Remove foil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
