pasta bake casserole You say you don't have time to cook dinner? Over in Casserole Moms, SanDiegoMaxMom called this Pasta Bake the "fastest, easiest, yummiest casserole" ever.

It's pretty hard to argue with that.

(Oh, and I almost forgot: Happy One Pot Wednesday!)

Pasta Bake

1/2 lb. noodles like penne, corkscrew, etc. (preferably whole wheat noodles)

1 can or jar spaghetti sauce

1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese

Sliced olives (optional)

Combine DRY noodles with sauce. Add 1/2 can of water. Top with cheese and olives. Bake at 350 for about an hour.

Cook noodles. Combine with sauce; top with cheese; and bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

That sounds so good :) I will have to try I think I made something like that before buy with Linguisa (sp?)

Breakfast casserole is a favorite in my house (frozen shredded hashbrowns, eggs, milk, cheese, and any veggie or meat you want.) so yummy, We eat it for Breakfast & dinner sometimes!
