Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ziti pasta (Ronzoni Whole Wheat pasta)
1 1/2 lbs polska kielbasa, sliced diagonally (Hillshire Farms)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (26 1/2 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (Hunt's Roasted Garlic)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • Cook pasta per package directions and drain.
  • While pasta cooks, heat oil in a mediun skillet over medium-high heat; Cook kielbasa in skillet until browned on both sides, 5-7 min; drain.

  • Pour into the baking pan; sprinkle with parsley and then the mozzarella.
  • Cover lightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes until casserole is bubbly and the cheese is completely melted.
