Cheesy Italian Sausage Pasta Bake Recipe

If you’re after a switched up pasta bake, this fantastic cheesy Italian sausage pasta bake recipe is the one for you! Boosted by the flavours of Italian beef and pork sausages, this pasta bake is anything but boring.

One packet of Italian beef and pork sausages, three rashers of bacon, frozen peas, fresh basil, mozarella cheese, a tin of condensed tomato soup, an onion, olive oil, chicken stock, panko breadcrumbs, cream and dried pasta curls.

The trick to this recipe are the sausages – you need to squeeze the Italian seasoned sausage meat out of the sausage casings. Then pop it into a frying pan with the bacon and onion and cook until browned. Add the soup, stock and some water and allow to simmer gently.

After twenty minutes, add the pasta and stir to combine. Replace the lid and allow to cook gently until the pasta is tender. Then stir in the peas, cream and basil. Season to taste and sprinkle with mozarella cheese and breadcrumbs.

Then all you need to do is place the frying pan under the grill (make sure it’s an oven-proof pan first!) for up to fifteen minutes or until golden and bubbling. Top with some baby rocket leaves and there you have it. One switched up pasta bake! Enjoy!
