Italian Sausage Casserole W/ Basil Crumb Topping Preparation

Cook rigatoni (or other tube pasta) according to manufacturer's directions.PREHEAT OVEN TO 350

Drain rigatoni and layer alternately with sausage sauce in large baking pan (I think I used a 15x9x2)

Bake in oven 15 minutes

-while it's baking, roast 3 more cloves of garlic (I love my microwaveable garlic baker!!!). When it's done, put into food chopper, along with about 6-9 large fresh basil leaves, 2 Tbsp of grated jack cheese and 8-10 super thin breadsticks. (I use the ones that are a bit thinner than a pencil, but around the same length). chop away.

After the casserole has cooked 12-15 minutes, sprinkle the basil/garlic topping to cover as much as possible. Return to oven 10 minutes.

When bubbly, it's done.

(I also topped half of the casserole with more shredded jack and it was quite tasty). (Half, because my older boy still hates cheese).
