Delicious Pasta Bake

If you know my husband and myself well (or really at all for that matter) then you know that we both LOVE pasta. We eat it at least once a week and go to Olive Garden often. So, when I came across this recipe on Pinterest (via this blog)... I knew it had to happen! It's a great recipe to make if you are wanting to make something easy. It is also a great recipe if you coupon. I don't know how many boxes of noodles and jars of pasta sauce I have gotten for free or close to free. This is a great way to have pasta a different way. I'm sure you could also add some veggies or meat if you'd like to jazz it up a bit :)



Ingredients:

1 jar of marinara sauce

1 jar of alfredo sauce

2 cups of mozzarella cheese

1 package of penne noodles

parmesan cheese to sprinkle

Directions:
1. Cook noodles as normal.
2. Once you drain the noodles, return them to the pot.
3. Combine noodles with both sauces and mozzarella cheese.
4. Pour the pasta into a 9x13 pan.
5. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
6. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes.





Side note- I learned something pretty awesome on Pinterest awhile back and would love to share it with you. If you put a wooden spoon over your boiling pot, it prevents the water from boiling over. Genius!

  1. hey Jules, the pasta bake looks yummy, you can also put a splash of olive oil in your boiling water, it will keep the water from boiling over and it gives your pasta a nice shine too :)
