Directions
Baked Cavatelli, OMG! My kids complain about most food and eating dinner they’re snack-a-holics but this casserole is not one of those dinners. When used to cook this when it was just me and my husband B.C., we used to have a ton of leftovers!! However, now there are none, and it’s the dog who’s most upset…. The sausage you can either get in mild or Spicy and I like to mix both in this dinner. I cook both packs at once, one skillet for each type. Once they are done I take half from the mild and half from the spicy and combine them in one zippy-bag and freeze them add them to your future Spag&Mtball dinner and WOW!. I got this from a BHG Mag at least 17 years ago when we first moved in together – May of ’89 and just saw this again on BHG.com my original calls for half of a bag/box of spinach and 1/2 cup of red peppers and onion I buy frozen in bags to save time or pre-prep your veggies and freeze, each in addition to what is here as well as draining the pasta water over the spinach in a mesh colander to wilt/separate it..I add the spinach to the sauce mix before stirring… I tell ya, all.. this is a great recipe!, Is this recipe really 758 calories per serving? If so this is nearly half a days calories. Thank you., This was a good basic recipe. We had enough left over to have again the next night, so I added more tomato sauce and fresh basil leaves and that seemed to give it a nice lift.
