This is another crock-pot meal that was absolutely delicious. I'm not a cooked tomato fan but they gave it a great flavor and it was more of a sauce than a piece of tomato. Like all of our recipes, you can make modifications to suit your tastes and dietary needs. In our case, we just used lower salt versions and gluten-free pasta. Wasn't able to find turkey sausage so used ground turkey breasts. Next time I might add more pepperoni slices.
Ingredients:1 lb ground turkey sausage
1/4 c Pizzeria Seasoning
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes
half of a 3.5 oz pkg pepperoni slices
3 1/2 c water
16 oz pkg spiral pasta, rinsed and uncooked
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Serve tonight: Crumble uncooked sausage into a greased slow cooker. Add next 5 ingredients. Stir to combine. Cover; cook on low 4-5 hours. Stir in pasta; cover and cook an additional 30 minutes. Stir, top with cheese and cover. Cook an additional 15 minutes or until pasta is tender and cheese is melted. Salt and pepper to taste.
Freeze for later: Combine first 5 ingredients in a gallon resealable freezer bag. Put pasta in a gallon resealable freezer bag. Put cheese in a quart resealable freezer bag. Place all bags in a gallon resealable freezer bag. Seal well, label and freeze. Thaw completely. Combine casserole mixture with water and prepare as directed above.
Makes 6-8 servings. Serve with a garden salad or another green vegetable. We used green beans.
