Baked Pasta Pie



This is an EASY recipe, I swear and just about everybody should have some sort of gooey cheesy baked dish in their repertoire.

What you'll need:
Pasta (something that will hold onto the sauce, like Gemelli, Ziti, Rigatoni, your choice)
Spaghetti Sauce
Ricotta
Mozzerella, shredded
1 Egg

What to do:
You ready for this? Make pasta as you normally would, drain.
Mix together ricotta, half of the mozzerella, and an egg. Then mix in the spaghetti sauce. Add in the pasta, stir it all up, and cover the top with the leftover shredded mozzerella.
Bake at 375 degrees until it's nice and browned and gooey. That's absolutely it.



I like to make some garlic bread to go with and of course it's the perfect opportunity for a super easy salad that my Aunt Dode always makes (served best with just lettuce, chopped tomatoes and chopped cheddar). The dressing is actually no dressing at all, just seasoning that really soak into the lettuce making it taste awesome. Just toss on some garlic salt, onion salt, oregano and parsley. Make the salad a couple minutes before serving so it will soak up all the flavors.
