Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

  • No Italian sausage? Ground beef or turkey works in the same amount, just season it with extra salt and pepper.
  • No ricotta? Cottage cheese can be swapped in at the same quantity for the dolloped topping.
  • No fresh basil? Use about 1 tablespoon dried basil stirred into the sauce instead.

Storing it

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until hot throughout.

Making it ahead

The sausage marinara sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to combine with the pasta and bake.
