1
Cook the Cavatelli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add Garlic and Marinara
Add minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the marinara sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked cavatelli to the skillet with the sausage and marinara sauce. Stir well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Add Cheese and Basil
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the cavatelli mixture to a baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cavatelli!
