Recipe Notes
You may modify the recipe of baked penne pasta with sausage and include your choice of pasta sauce or veggies.
Here are a few tips that you may consider for your pizza pasta baked with sausage:
- For this recipe, you can use veg options like peppers and mushrooms, leafy greens like spinach. You may also add courgette, sweetcorn and aubergine—try to stick to softer veg rather than root veggies like carrots since they will cook faster.
- For added freshness, throw some cherry tomatoes on top at the exact moment as the cheese. They offer small bursts of juiciness as you eat a spoonful.
- Reserve a bit of the pasta water to add to the sauce to make it smooth and silky. Baked pasta dishes with sausages, of course, include the vital layer of cheese.
- You can use whatever cheese you want here, and it's an excellent way to use up a few different varieties of cheese you may have left in the fridge. A mix of cheddar, mozzarella and goat's cheese works wonderfully. Or feta! Which always works.
