Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups bow-tie pasta
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 2 cups tomato puree or sauce
  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese or Ricotta if you prefer
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper more or less depending on preference, I found ½ teaspoon had just the right kick without being over-powering

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Boil water for pasta and cook according to box directions, but set timer for the minimum cooking time, drain.
  • Brown the sausage and drain grease.
  • In a big mixing bowl combine tomato puree, cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese and ½ cup of Mozzarella and seasonings. Mix until well blended.
  • Add bow-tie pasta and sausage to the mixture and stir until mixed evenly.
  • Pour into an 8×8 baking dish and sprinkle ½ cup Mozzarella cheese over the top. Put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly. Enjoy!
