This dish includes a sauce so meaty that the sausage can’t be contained inside of a casing! It’s only when this marvel of a sauce meets Sargento® Shredded 6 Cheese Italian that it becomes something entirely delicious. What better comfort food to share with your family than a big bowl of meaty and cheesy pasta baked to perfection in your very own oven?
