Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large skillet, brown kielbasa in oil over medium heat. Add next four ingredients and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, about 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine egg, Ricotta, cheddar, ½ cup mozzarella, and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
• In a large bowl, combine meat mixture, pasta (cooked and drained), and cheese mixture until thoroughly blended. Pour mixture into a lightly sprayed 9x13 casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup mozzarella, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, and chopped green onions over top of kielbasa mixture.
• Bake, covered for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking an addition 10-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the kielbasa.

This recipe freezes well, so you may want to double the recipe. Pour half of the mixture into each of two casserole dishes, one for tonight and one in a freezer safe casserole dish. Cook the one for tonight according to the recipe and allow the second casserole to cool. Once cooled, cover well with foil and label "Cheesy Kielbasa Casserole: Remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes until heated through."
