2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 (26 ounce) jars pasta sauce, any flavor

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

2Cook and drain pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.

3Meanwhile, in a deep skillet or large pot, cook sausage until browned, stirring frequently to break sausage into small pieces. Add onion and garlic, cook until tender, stirring occasionally.

6Uncover; top with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake 8 minutes longer, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Cook’s Tip: Use spicy Italian sausage to dial up the flavor.
