This Three Cheese Italian Sausage Pasta Bake is Perfect for Entertaining

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you may remember that back in December the waterline to the fridge at our cabin started leaking and caused some serious water damage. Like, part of the ceiling in the basement fell down, seriously.

We’re thankful we caught it when we did, but the damage was still pretty extensive. So, after several months, lots of contractors, dealing with insurance and 9 hours of Steve and me cleaning up after the construction, the cabin is finally put back together.

Last weekend we decided we needed to go up to the cabin just to relax, enjoy ourselves and not do any work. I knew we would be getting together with Steve’s sister and her husband, who both live near our cabin, and I thought it would be fun to have them over for dinner. I served this amazing three cheese Italian sausage pasta bake and it was a perfect choice.

A Great Make Ahead Dish

First of all, I was able to make this dish ahead of time, which made entertaining a breeze. Remember, we were spending the weekend relaxing, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. All I needed to do was pop this delicious three cheese Italian sausage pasta bake into the oven to bake, make a quick salad, heat up some bread and dinner was served.

The other great thing about this pasta bake is how amazingly good it is. It starts with a quick and easy alfredo sauce. For extra flavor and nutrition, I sautéed some red bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms and onion.

The three cheese part of the dish is a combination of parmesan, feta and mozzarella. Then the star of  this three cheese Italian sausage pasta bake is Klement’s Italian Sausage, which I absolutely LOVE.

All of their sausage is made with all natural ingredients. Those ingredients give the sausage a delicious, rich flavor. Thus, making it perfect in any recipe, and especially delicious in this hearty pasta dish.

Sausage, Sausage and More Sausage!

Klement’s has a delicious variety of fully cooked sausages, including Italian sausage, bratwurst and polish sausage. They also have a wonderful selection of summer sausages and snack sticks, which are perfect for serving when you’re entertaining.

The fully cooked sausages are great for quick family dinners on busy nights. Their sausage has been handcrafted by three generations of artisans and is naturally hardwood smoked using leaner, more premium meats. It’s sausage that links people together.

If you’re not familiar with Klement’s, it’s a 60 year old company, started in Milwaukee and built on European Tradition.  The roots of the Klement Sausage Company are traced back several generations to Central Europe.

In that region, sausage-making is knitted tightly into the fabric of the community. And, where techniques and recipes were handed down through the Klement family.

The sausage is made using old world recipes and produced in small batches. The result is sausage that has a most delicious taste.

How to Freeze and Reheat the Three Cheese Italian Sausage Pasta Bake

As I said, this is a great make ahead recipe. To do that, prepare the recipe up to the point where it’s ready to bake.

At this point, cover the baking dish tightly with foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. You can also freeze for up to three months.

To bake from refrigerated, bake for 15 minutes covered and then an additional 30 minutes uncovered. It’s done when heated through and cheese is melted and starting to brown. To bake from frozen, bake for 30 minutes covered and then an additional 30 minutes uncovered, until heated through.

ENJOY!
