Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Cook and drain the pasta.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, crumble and cook the Italian sausage on the stove in a skillet on medium heat. Drain the fat, and stir in the marinara sauce.

Step 4

Grab a 9x13 casserole dish, and pour in half of the sauce mixture. Spread it evenly.

Step 5

Insert the string cheese sticks into the pasta tubes and place them in the casserole dish. Cover the top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle both cheeses over the top.

Step 6

Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake it for another 5-10 minutes until melted and bubbling. Remove from the oven, top with basil, and enjoy!
