Goulash "happens" when you cook pasta in tomato sauce with spices, meat, and cheese. When baked you have a less liquidy product. Here's my recipe for "Spicy Italian goulash".
Cavatappi or "double elbow" pasta has "rigate" or ridges that hold the sauce on the noodle. I just adore the way they look.
Boil off about 8 oz (or half a box) of cavatappi.
Brown a tube of italian sausage, drain and mix with an entire jar of pasta sauce, a handful of cheese , can of tomato paste, 2 Tablespoons of Sriracha, and cooked pasta saving a little sauce.
Mix well and place in a casserole baking dish. Bake covered 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add about a 1/2 cup of cheese to the top and replace in the oven uncovered 10 minutes.
If you dont enjoy spicy, omit the sriracha. You can add veggies and have an entire new creation!!
This looks amazing and cheesy! Simple quick and easy
