Time 1h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 pound vermicelli pasta or thin spaghetti
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage (removed from casings)
1/4 pound shiitake or cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups (24 ounces) marinara or meatless tomato sauce, homemade or store bought
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the casserole dish
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 to 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Heat salted water for the pasta: Put a large pot of water on the stove on high heat. Add salt to the water, about 2 tablespoons of salt for 4 quarts of water. While the pasta water is heating, continue with the next steps.
  • Cook and drain the pasta: By this time your pasta water should be boiling. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil, for 5 to 6 minutes, al dente. Note that the pasta will continue to cook and absorb some of the sauce when it is in the casserole dish in the oven, so the pasta should be al dente. When ready, drain the pasta and rinse in cold water.
  • Preheat oven and prepare casserole pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Rub the inside of a 9x13 inch casserole dish (a Pyrex dish works great) with olive oil.
