Who doesn't like easy and using what's on hand? I know I do, especially on a cold rainy or snowy night.
Two ways to make great pasta dishes!
Baked Pasta
Mix cooked pasta with sauce, pour into a 13” x 9” baking dish and added a bit more sauce so it's not dry. Top with mozzarella and.or parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degress for about 20 minutes. When warmed through remove top and brown cheese if desired so the cheese on top gets browned.
Cooked Gourmet Pasta Dinner
