Sausage & Ziti Stovetop
The perfect quick & easy family meal. Saute the sausage, cook the noodles and mix it all together. Simple and scrumptious.
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 jar marinara (32 oz) I love Mezzetta
- 1 lb ziti
- 1/2 tsp dried fennel
- salt & pepper to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Cook ziti according to instructions. I like to add a tbsp of olive oil and a tsp salt to the boiling water. Drain. Set aside
While pasta is cooking, heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and when the oil is shimmering, add the ground sausage. Break up any large chunks, cooking until well browned.
Add the entire jar of marinara, salt & pepper and fennel to the browned sausage and let simmer over low heat for five minutes.
Add drained pasta to the sausage mixture, adjust seasonings and serve!
