Baked Pasta consists of whatever box of pasta we happen to have in the cupboard. Sometimes it's spaghetti, sometimes macaroni, today we had Rigitore. While your pasta is boiling fry one pound ground Italian Sausage and mix in whatever veggies you like (we do fresh or canned mushrooms, you could also do spinach, etc). When the pasta is done mix it with the meat/veggie mixture and add a jar of your favorite pasta sauce. Mix well. (I have to tell you that my family adores Spartan Brand pasta sauce. We used to be a Prego family but Spartan Brand has a better flavor.) When it's all mixed pour it in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish, top with a bag of mozzeralla or Italian blend of cheese and bake until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Serve with garlic bread and salad. :) Add whole wheat pasta to make this even healthier for your family and do a skim milk cheese if you desire. Personally, I'd rather add more veggies and leave the cheese alone, but that's me.
