Combine an increase in running mileage with recovery time spent trolling the internet for new meal ideas, and you’ve got a recipe for trouble.
Needless to say, I found this recipe when a recent carb craving struck. It’s a perfect weeknight dish that can be whipped up with very little effort, thanks to the convenience of jarred pasta sauce, pre-cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
Of course, I couldn’t resist, oh, quadrupling the amount of cheese (yes, seriously) and adding some sweet Italian sausage to spice it up a bit.
The result? As delicious as it looks. And, bonus: Not only is there minimal-prep involved, but it’s also basically foolproof; as long as you can boil water, you’re good to go!
