Baked Penne Pasta With Italian Sausage

12 oz. penne pasta-cook until al dente, drain and set aside
Olive oil
2 tsp miced garlic
1/2 onion, chopped
Crushed red pepper to taste
Basil, chopped, to taste
1 red pepper, chopped
3 sausages cut into small chunks (I used spinach mozarella ones from Costco)
1 jar marinara sauce
2 cups cottage cheese
Mozzarella cheese

Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish.

In a skillet, heat olive oil. Add in onion, garlic, crushed red pepper, basil, and red pepper. Cook until tender.

Add in sausage chunks. Cook for a couple of minutes.

In a bowl, mix pasta with marinara sauce. Add in the pepper/sausage mixture.

Pour pasta into 9x13 dish and drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese on top. Mix it a little bit. You want it to be in with the pasta/sauce mixture. Sprinkle with mozzerella cheese and mix a little bit. Cover the top of the pasta with more mozzerella and fresh basil.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until bubbly.
