How To Make red gold tomato lasagna casserole

  • Step 1
    Cook pasta according to package directions. Strain and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place Olive Oil in pan; add sausage and fennel seed; brown the sausage. Drain excess oil and add both cans of Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Garlic and Olive Oil. Let sauce simmer 10-15 minutes. Add basil, salt and red pepper to taste. Chop fresh Mozzarella into cubes. Cut cooked lasagna noodles into small squares. Place lasagna in a mixing bowl; add half of the sauce and sausage mix and all cheese. Mix until all is evenly distributed.
  • Step 2
    Spray a casserole dish with PAM. Add pasta to casserole and bake for 30 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Serve with remaining sauce, if desired. An option would be to add peas and/or mushrooms for added flavor and more cheese on top is a welcome addition.
