Tips
- Substitute ground Italian sausage with ground beef.
- Use water or chicken broth for the liquid component.
- If pasta isn't fully tender after 50 minutes, cover and continue baking in 5–10 minute increments.
- An alternative method is to cook the pasta in salted water until 2-3 minutes shy of al dente before combining with the other ingredients and baking for 20-25 minutes.
