a go-to for jess

Ok Jess, in response to your post, here's a go-to for you...and for anyone else that might read my blog.  =)  It's one that my kids say, "Mom, you could open a restaurant and serve only this and you'd be the best restaurant in town!"  It's easy, serves 10 no prob, always the rave, and is super low-cal.


Alfredo Bake

1 bag penne pasta (I use the rice pasta from Trader's--no gluten--it's a great sub!)
1-2 lbs. sausage (depending on how much meat you are in the mood for)
1 jar red sauce
alfredo sauce (I make my own but you can get it at the market)
1 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded

Cook pasta.  Brown sausage.  Add red sauce to the cooked sausage.  Combine alfredo sauce with pasta.  Put pasta in a 9 x 13, top with red sauce/sausage.  Bake @ 350 for 30-40 minutes.  Dump handfuls of mozzarella on top and bake for the last 10-15 minutes.

I usually serve this with a simple green salad.
I told you it's super low-cal.
