Servings: persons

1 lb bulk Italian sausage
8 ounces small elbow macaroni
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
½ cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon basil
½ cup water
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated

1
In a large skillet, brown the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
2
Remove from skillet and drain.
3
( I like to put the sausage in a colander and run hot water over it to get all the grease off that I can ).
4
As sausage is cooking, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente ( slightly firm to the tooth).
5
You don't want to cook it too long or the final product will be mushy.
6
Add green pepper, onion,garlic, oregano and basil to the skillet and cook until onions are wilted but not browned.
7
Add a small bit of olive oil or water, if necessary.
8
Stir in tomato sauce and the water; simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
9
In a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish that has been coated with cooking spray, combine the macaroni, sausage, and tomato sauce mixture, mixing well.
10
Add half of the mozzarelle cheese and half ( 2 T. ) of the Parmesan cheese to the casserole dish and mix to distribute evenly.
11
Top casserole with remaining diced Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
12
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
13
Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
