"Lordy this is good and easy to make, I've made this several times and everytime it seems to get better and better! Leftovers make a great meal that is you have any left. The last time I made this I added in a small handful of black sliced olives that addition really kicked it up. For two smaller meals bake in two 8 inch pans and you could freeze one for another meal"

1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot or could use ground beef, I've made both and Italian sausage is WAY better)
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cups dry penne pasta (cooked and drained)
1 jar (24 ounce) spaghetti sauce (I use way more than 24 ounces because I don't like it dry and I use homemade it's so much better)

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, divided
3 cups mozzarella Cheese, shredded (divided)
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
Salt and pepper
