Pasta Casserole

I know other people have probably made their own versions of this, but I wanted to share my version, because it's awesome and delicious. LOL.



3 cups pasta
1 can of Hunt's Thick & Rich mushroom and basil spaghetti sauce
1 lb lean ground pork
6 mushrooms, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Cook pasta according to directions on package, drain and put in the bottom of a casserole dish.

Cook pork in large skillet until no longer pink. Drain. Add mushrooms, green pepper, onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Add spaghetti sauce and spices, stir well. Cook for 5 more minutes.

Spread sauce evenly on top of pasta in casserole dish. Cover evenly with shredded cheese.

Bake in a 350F oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and hot. Remove from oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
