Spicy Sausage & Turkey Rigatoni Bake

I threw this dish together at the last minute using up a few things before they went bad. I was amazed by how tasty this dish turned out. My 16 month old son LOVED it!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey

1 lb hot pork sausage

29 ounce can tomato sauce

1 TBSP dry basil

1 TBSP dry parsley

2 TBSP garlic powder

1 tsp salt

dash pepper

1/2 parmesan cheese (the Kraft stuff or fresh if you prefer)

2 cups mozzarella cheese

24 ounce box rigatoni noodles

Directions:

In a large skillet brown together ground turkey and pork sausage. Drain off grease. Add tomato sauce and seasonings. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Meanwhile, cook and drain rigatoni according to package directions. Once the meat sauce is done simmering, mix together with noodles. Pour into 2 lightly greased 9×13 pans. Sprinkle 1/4 parmesan cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese over each one. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted.

NOTE: This dish freezes pretty well. If you decide to freeze part of it, omit the cheeses and don’t bake it until you are ready to use it. If sealed properly, this will stay good for at least 3 months.
