Italian Sausage Pasta Bake ( Baked Ziti Inspiration)

Disclaimer: This is just what I did using what I had. I'm not a professional, the recipes aren't perfect. I want people to read these and try them and give feedback for improvements and additions. I also want a record of what I do so I can see how I change things and what I like better.

I'm also posting this recipe months after I made it so I might be interpreting my written directions a little wrong since I can't remember all of the steps.

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked pasta - (Approx. Used Bowtie - Just used what we had)
2 c. Onion - chopped
2 Tbl. Fresh Cilantro chopped
1/4 c. green onion chopped
1/2 c. green pepper
3/4 c. fresh corn
1 c. Fresh mushrooms chopped
1/2 c. Zucchini chopped
1/2 c. Yellow Squash
15 oz. Can chopped tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
1 cup water
 1 lb. choppped italian sausage link


Process:

I mixed all vegetables minus the cilantro(I think), tomatoes and paste and then split the combined ingredients in half. I did this because I didn't realize how much they would make. I ended up using half of the batch and mixing it with the tomatoes, paste, water, sausage, and pasta after is was cooked. (I might have split the pasta in half too, because I think I ended up turning the 2nd half in to a pasta salad pretty much as it was and it being really good.)

I put it in a casserole dish (9x12 ?) then cooked for 30 min @ 350, then 20 min @ 400.


Changes:
Obviously I would split the vegetables in half next time so as not to make so much. Also I would cook the sausage first because I worried about it cooking. I think it also need more tomato sauce in it. I didn't have any on hand when I made it. Next time I will make sure to make it with more sauce.
