Instructions
1: Bring a pot of salted pasta water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente (about 1-2 minutes less than what the package directions). 2: In a deep pan over medium heat, heat olive oil. Cook Italian sausage until no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). 3: Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, reducing until it’s almost completely evaporated (2-3 minutes). 4: Add diced/crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, butter, and chopped basil. Cook until butter is melted (1-2 minutes). 5: Remove from heat and add cooked pasta and half of mozzarella, mixing it to blend. Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. 6: Place underneath broiler for 3-5 minutes (watch it closely), or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.View original recipe
