Baked Pasta
Undecided what to make for dinner tonight? This is an easy to make dish that will be a huge hit with your family. I first encountered it in Buffalo, New York in the late 80′s at a restaurant named Chef’s. When I started to make it at home my family acted as if I had made the best dinner in the world. It is great if you make too much pasta one night, and who among us can figure out how much pasta to make, simply make this dish and freeze it for a night when you don’t have much time or energy.
Add a salad and some crunchy bread and you have the perfect meal. Don’t forget the wine.
