Easiest Recipe Ever

Hey everyone! We're linking up again this week for Saw It. Pinned It. Did It. with Katie and Stephanie.

 
As you know, I'm always on the lookout for an easy and delicious recipe. I saw this pin on Pinterest a few months ago, which led me to this amazing recipe. If you haven't visited Plain Chicken then you need to stop what you're doing right now and go!!

This recipe is for No Boil Baked Penne. Yes, that's right, you don't even have to boil the noodles! Could it get any easier? I make it even easier by using pre-cooked turkey sausage. So here's what you need:


1 jar pasta sauce (26 oz)
1.5 cups water
15 oz reduced fat ricotta
2 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 package of Jimmy Dean pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles
8 oz uncooked penne
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Dump everything into a bowl (except for a cup of the mozzarella cheese) and mix it all up. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan (make sure spray it with Pam first!) and cover with foil. Bake it for 55 minutes. Remember how you saved half of the mozzarella cheese? Take off the foil and sprinkle the it on top. Then bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
 

That's it! This is  one of the easiest pasta dishes to make and it's really good. It's great to take to someone who just had a baby or someone who's in need of a good meal. Throw in a caesar salad and some garlic bread and you're good to go! Happy Friday Eve!!
