Ingredients
* 1 (1-pound) package uncooked ziti (short tube-shaped pasta)
* 1 pound hot turkey Italian sausage links
* 1 cup chopped onion
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 (14.5-ounce) cans petite-diced tomatoes, undrained
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
* Cooking spray
* 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
* 1 cup (4 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain the pasta, and set aside.
Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage, onion, and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Add the tomato paste, salt, pepper, and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine cooked pasta, sausage mixture, and basil. Place half of the pasta mixture in a 4-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Top with half of mozzarella and half of Parmesan. Repeat layers. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

Really good. I cut the recipe in half and it still made way too much for our little family...even with how much Kate ate!
