mama mia pasta casserole
(4 ratings)
I was in the mood for some pasta and I had ingredients on hand for tomato sauce. My husband will eat anything with ground beef and pasta so I made this casserole with him in mind. I have to say it was pretty good and serves a lot of people. I think I will make if for the next friends or family gathering at my home. As I think baking it the 2nd day might be even better.
