Preparation
Step 1
1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook the sausage, onions and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
2. Drain fettuccine; stir into meat mixture. Transfer half of the sausage mixture to two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Sprinkle each with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; top with remaining sausage mixture.
3. In a small bowl, whisk soup and broth; spread over casseroles. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining mozzarella cheese.
4. Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months. Cover and bake the remaining casserole at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
