Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 2 whole bell peppers sliced into strips
  • 1 pound whole wheat rigatoni cooked
  • 32 ounces jarred no-sugar added marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a large high sided skillet, cook the turkey sausage breaking it into small chunks as it cooks. When fully cooked, drain off any excess liquid and return to heat. Add the peppers and cook just until the peppers begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the rigatoni, marinara, and water.
  • Pour the pasta into the prepared casserole dish and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until cheese begins to brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
