• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 5-6

ingredients

• 1 lb honey garlic sausage
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 3 cups pasta
• 4 stalks celery, sliced
• 8 ounces Velveeta reduced fat cheese product
• 1 cup pasta sauce
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese (I use the kind mixed with herbs)

directions

1. Cut sausage into small bite sized pieces. Fry with onion and garlic until completely cooked.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta with a pinch of salt until fully cooked.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F In a greased 8 inch square pan, cover the bottom with the sausage mixture.
4. Top with sliced celery. Cut 4oz of Velveeta into small chunks and scatter over celery.
5. Top with 1/2 of cooked pasta. Cut remaining Velveeta and layer that and remaining pasta on top.
6. Spoon pasta sauce over noodles, making sure it covers all of the top (otherwise the pasta will dry out). Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes.

This is another good recipe for using up leftovers. I halved the amounts, using sweet italian sausage. For the sauce, I used half alfredo and half tomato. We felt the celery added a nice crunchiness to the dish. Overall, we liked this recipe. Thanks for sharing it. :)

Loved this! Really easy, too! I couldn't find that sausage in my store, so I just added in a little bit of honey and extra garlic. I omitted the celery due to family preference. Thanks for the recipe! :D
