Welcome fall with this recipe: Baked Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe

Nothing welcomes the fall season quite like a comforting bowl of pasta. It seems to be one of the busiest times of the year, and somehow everyone still wants dinner each night.

Insert this week’s recipe for a delicious, simple one-dish dinner: Baked Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe. If you can fit all the food groups into one dish, you should, especially when feeding a toddler — or anyone for that matter. This meal is so delicious, it might make it into your regular dinner menu rotation.

Any time there’s pasta and a creamy cheese sauce in a recipe, you cannot go wrong. Add Italian sausage, garlic, broccoli rabe and sage, and the whole dish goes to next-level deliciousness. I like to top it with some Parmesan cheese because why not?

Pasta is a welcomed old friend we used to enjoy, and then some food allergies and low-carb diets robbed us of that joy. We are back to full-fledged pasta eating around here, and I’m not sorry about it. Serve this pasta dish alongside an Italian salad, and dinner is ready to enjoy.

Bon Appetit
