Dosing:

We used 2 tablespoons of infused olive oil with 25mgs of THC per tablespoon, giving us 50mgs of THC in the recipe. Our recipe yielded 6 portions giving each portion with a comfortable 7-9mgs of THC. 

Ingredients:

400g pasta (penne, fusilli, or any shape you prefer)

6 good-quality sausages (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)

2 tablespoons THC Infused olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (400g) plum tomatoes, crushed or diced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

For the Stale Bread Topping:

2 cups stale bread crumbs (preferably crusty bread)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).

Step 2 - Cook the Pasta:

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3 - Prepare the Sausages:

Remove the casings from the sausages and break the meat into small pieces.

Step 4 - Cook the Sausage:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5 - Prepare the Sauce:

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and aromatic.

Step 6 - Add Tomatoes and Seasoning:

Add the crushed plum tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7 - Combine Pasta and Sauce:

Add the cooked pasta and cooked sausage to the skillet with the sauce and half of the cheese. Mix well to combine everything evenly.

Step 8 - Transfer to Baking Dish:

Transfer the sausage and pasta mixture to a large baking dish.

Step 9 - Prepare the Stale Bread Topping:

In a separate bowl, combine the stale bread crumbs, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until the bread crumbs are coated evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Step 10 - Top with Bread Crumbs:

Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the sausage and pasta mixture in the baking dish.

Step 11 - Add Cheddar Cheese:

Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the bread crumb layer.

Step 12 - Bake:

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread crumbs are golden and crispy.

Step 13 - Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious sausage pasta bake with crispy stale bread topping and melted cheddar cheese!
