Baked Cavatelli

1. 1

   Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; set aside.

2. 2

   In a large skillet cook the sausage, onion, and garlic until sausage is brown; remove from skillet. Drain.

3. 3

   In a large bowl stir together pasta sauce, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and the pepper. Add the cooked pasta and the drained sausage mixture. Stir gently to combine. Spoon the mixture into a 2-quart casserole.*.

4. 4

   Bake, covered, in a 375u00b0F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until nearly heated through. Uncover; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake about 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.

5. 5

   My card says it feeds 5 to 6, and I say a family of four -- and a sad ol'doggie -- for licking the casserole dish clean -- .
