I was on the lookout for a simple, new casserole recipe and I guess my friend’s stories about Italian food were on my mind, since all I could think of was a nice pasta casserole. I even invited her over for dinner to see if this dish would bring back memories. She sure thought this tasted authentic!
This recipe makes about 8 servings and will be ready in 45 minutes, from start to finish. You can tweak it as you go, using your favorite ingredients, and it will always be just as delicious!
