Creamy Sausage Pasta Bake
This easy dump and bake pasta is the ultimate comfort meal for a busy weeknight.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a warm casserole to bring everyone to the table after a long day. This creamy sausage pasta bake is a favorite in my kitchen because you can just toss everything into the dish and let the oven do the heavy lifting for you. It is packed with savory sausage and veggies, making it a complete meal that feels like a big hug in a bowl.
The magic ingredient here is the Boursin cheese, which melts down into a silky sauce that coats every single noodle. If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, try topping it with a little bit of fresh parsley or extra parmesan right before you serve it. Your family will definitely ask for seconds of this one.

Store any leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, add a small splash of water or broth to the dish to keep the sauce creamy, then warm it in the microwave or oven until heated through.
