Four Cheese Penne Pasta Bake

I have to say that I have never been a huge fan of Penne Pasta. But if you pair it with cheese and sausage, I'm all in! This Four Cheese Pasta Bake was so heavenly! The original recipe can be found HERE. Our new version is below. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 pound Penne Pasta
3/4 pound Smoked Sausage
Crushed Red Pepper
Onion Powder
Vegetable Oil
1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
1/2 of a small bag of four-cheese blend

Directions:
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. While cooking pasta, cut sausage into 1/2 inch slices. If you have a large pan or skillet, you can use that for the sausage and sauce. Pour olive oil in pan and add the sausage. We had random Crushed Red Pepper packets and I poured two on the sausage. You can also used Crushed Red Pepper seasoning. I also added a few tablespoons of Onion Powder but feel free to use as much as you want. Cook the sausage until it's done. Add the Marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Pour this mixture into a casserole dish. Pour the cooked pasta (drained) over and add cheese. Bake for 8 minutes or until casserole starts to bubble.

Finally, try not to eat the whole thing in one sitting :)
