Pasta Fazool (Pasta and Beans With Sausage)

This is an amazing dish that includes beans, pasta and sausage meat all in one, topped with cheese then baked in the oven, it's a very popular Italian dish and there are many versions of this recipe, this one is a family favorite, I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does! --- If you prefer a dryer mixture then drain the tomatoes, ziti pasta works well in place of penne, please adjust the cayenne pepper to suit heat level, prep time includes cooking the pasta.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

This was a very nice dish! I had to sub a mixture od mozzarella and cheddar for the provolone,as its hard to come by in these parts,but it was great.The children ate it,(including the kidney beans),before it got baked.It made loads,so was able to freeze some,which is always a bonus.We ate it yesterday,and it was lovely.Next time I may add some sweetcorn to it too,just as we love it,and for another texture in there.Thanks Kit.

    I have never had Fazool before, but I'm glad I tried it. This is a straightforward recipe, fairly easy to put together and it makes a ton. You can taste the cayenne in this — for me it was not overpowering, just the right amount. We didn't have Provolone and substituted mozzarella. Not wanting to waste, I went ahead and used the whole (small) can of tomato paste. We also used 2 lbs of ground spicy sausage instead of 1 lb beef/lb sausage. I don't believe any of these changes affected the recipe that much — it was very good. Thanks for sharing.

    This was excellent! It wasn't like anything I had ever had before. I used VERY hot sausage. The end result was beautiful. Thank you for posting! Yet another great recipe from Kittencal! UPDATE: When I make this, I split it up into smaller casseroles to freeze for later. Then I simply throw them straight into a 400° oven for about an hour. I don't put the cheese on top when I freeze them, I add it after about 30 minutes (or as soon as I remember to do it). They turn out as if made from fresh. Excellent!

    A Ten-Star winner! Wow! This was good. How good? My DH said it was better than his mother's! I substituted pinto beans for the kidney beans and DH thought that using all sausage would be even better. May try that! I, too, made two casserole out of this, freezing one. This recipe is a real keeper.
