Notes
- Cook the pasta al dente. The pasta will keep cooking in the oven so you will want to boil them to al dente so they don't become mushy.
- Meal prep. If you know you are going to make this meal, pre-chop the veggies and pre-cook your sausage. When you are ready to assemble, everything will be ready to mix together.
- Salt you pasta water while cooking the pasta. It is a great way to season the pasta itself.
- Remove any excess grease. Once the sausage cooks, make sure to remove any excess grease.
