- 1 lb ziti pasta (Ronzoni Whole Wheat pasta)
- 1 1/2 lbs polska kielbasa, sliced diagonally (Hillshire Farms)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (26 1/2 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (Hunt's Roasted Garlic)

- Cook pasta per package directions and drain.
- While pasta cooks, heat oil in a mediun skillet over medium-high heat; Cook kielbasa in skillet until browned on both sides, 5-7 min; drain.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta, kielbasa, spaghetti sauce, oregano, salt and pepper and mix well.
- Pour into the baking pan; sprinkle with parsley and then the mozzarella.
- Cover lightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes until casserole is bubbly and the cheese is completely melted.
- For OAMC: Prepare casserole but use a disposable (foil) baking pan; do NOT bake; double wrap casserole in plastic wrap, then in foil wrap and freeze; remove from freezer 24 hours or more in advance of need; remove wrapping and thaw in fridge; once thawed, preheat oven to 350u0b0F (177u0b0C); then cover lightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes until casserole is bubbly and the cheese is completely melted.
