Italian Sausage Casserole Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Darmorrow / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This is a great recipe from Canadian Living. I've been making it for years. I added more veggies so it's a better balanced dish. I also undercook the pasta so it doesn't overcook in the oven. I freeze the leftovers and that works well. Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:6	Darmorrow
