Who doesn’t love when a big pan of pasta shows up at the table? This dish is packed with delicious flavors like fire-roasted tomatoes, Italian sausage, and of course, a generous helping of mozzarella and parmesan. We cook the noodles in the pan with the sauce, so the pasta comes together in just under an hour.
