1
Put a pot of water on your stovetop and start it heating.
-
2
When it starts to boil, throw your fettuccini noodles in and cook to your desired level of doneness.
-
3
Drain and set aside.
-
4
Dump your package of frozen, chopped spinach into a colander.
-
5
If youve got time, let it thaw.
-
6
If not, run it under water.
-
7
Get as much of the moisture out of the spinach as you can.
-
8
In a big bowl, add the spinach, sausage, egg, and breadcrumbs.
-
9
Make meatballs out of this mixture (make into the size of your liking).
-
10
Toss them into a skillet and cook just long enough to brown them on both sides.
-
11
They should NOT be cooked through.
-
12
Pull out your largest casserole dish and throw the sliced bell peppers on the bottom.
-
13
Your next layer should be the meatballs.
-
14
On top of that, evenly coat with the jar of sauce, crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes.
-
15
Sprinkle garlic powder and salt over the top.
-
16
Pop in the oven at 375 degrees for two hours.
-
17
Serve over fettucini noodles.
-
18
Now, if you really dont have any interest in the meatball part (I usually dont) this recipe works GREAT with a package of Italian sausage links.
-
19
Me, I like spicy.
-
20
Just chuck them into the casserole raw.
-
21
Layer the same way, cook the same way.
-
22
Gobble it up and probably not have leftovers.
-
23
*Note*
-
24
Dont skimp on the baking time!
-
25
The longer you cook it, the more flavor from the sausage will work its way into the sauce.
