I really think the addition of the tomato soup takes this casserole to the next level. It had such a sweet taste and then you add in all the spices and this is just so good. We all agreed the Italian Sausage was really good in this, I do think you could make it with ground beef or ground turkey but the sausage was really good!
You could easily use yellow squash in this dish too. Just add it in with the other vegetables.
If you have extra zucchini you will also love this Bacon Zucchini Pie, it’s great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Looking for something sweet.. you can’t go wrong with this wonderful Zucchini Bread. It has fantastic reviews.

Is it really UNCOOKED pasta that you mix everything together with?
