Serves: 8-12
Ingredients
1 lb mild or hot Italian sausage (If in casings, remove from casings.)
1 lb mushrooms, thinly sliced and chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper (If using mild sausage, add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you desire.)
1 lb egg noodles, cooked and drained (Make sure to salt the water.)
2 cups chicken stock or broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups mozzarella cheese, separated
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
parsley flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Start the water boiling for the pasta before you start making the sausage and mushroom mixture. Don't forget to salt the noodle water.
In a large and deep skillet, add the butter and the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper and continue to saute until the mushrooms and onions are fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Place the sausage in the skillet and cook until nicely browned and fully cooked.
Add the mushroom onion mixture back into the skillet with the sausage.
Next, add the chicken stock and heavy cream. Let it come to a small simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Stir until combined and then add the cooked and drained egg noodles. Mix well.
Pour into the prepared 9x13 pan. Top with the remaining mozzarella, then the bread crumbs, and then the parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
