INGREDIENTS⁠
⁠
16 oz rotini pasta⁠
1 tbsp olive oil⁠
12 oz Italian sausage (about 4 links)⁠
4 cups marinara sauce⁠
15 oz whole milk ricotta⁠
1 egg⁠
1/2 tsp salt⁠
1 tsp dried basil⁠
1 tsp dried oregano⁠
1 tsp onion powder⁠
1 tsp garlic powder
4 oz Parmesan cheese, grated⁠
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS⁠
⁠
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set it aside.⁠
⁠
Prepare and cook pasta according to the manufacturer's directions, cooking to al dente, or 2 minutes less than fully cooked. Drain pasta and return to warm stockpot. Add the prepared marinara sauce to the pasta. Stir and set aside.⁠
⁠
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil over medium in a 12-inch skillet. Slice sausage into ½-inch pieces. Brown sausage on both sides to create a crust, 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Add the browned sausage to the prepared pasta and stir to combine.⁠
⁠
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and 2 oz Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.⁠
⁠
Layer half of the prepared pasta in the baking dish. Evenly dollop the ricotta mixture over the pasta layer and spread to smooth. Add the remaining half of the pasta and spread it evenly. Top with mozzarella cheese and remaining 2 oz Parmesan cheese.⁠
⁠
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is beginning to brown and the casserole is bubbling, 45-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

From my farm to your home. 🏡

My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. https://wyseguide.com

A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.

So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
