    Please pass the cheesy pasta.

    This pasta bake is FANTABULOUS…and it’s quick to prepare and great from freezer to table too. So while you’re at it, make a second pan’s worth for the freezer!

    The touch of sweet from the sweet Italian sausage with a bit of that charred tomato flavor from the fire-roasted tomatoes, all tossed together with pasta and topped with cheese…your people will polish this off!!!

    Here’s a peak at what it looks like coming out of the oven…

      I didn’t find freezer instructions.
      At what point do I prepare for freezer?
      Looks so very yummy!
