Not an entirely complex recipe. Something almost everyone has probably tried at some point in their cooking experience. Cheap, easy, and feeds a ton. Great leftovers.

Ingredients For baked pasta

  • 2 pkg
    shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 box
    pasta of choice
  • 1 jar
    sauce of choice

How To Make baked pasta

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2
    Cook pasta of choice (I tend to use rotini) and drain thoroughly once finished.
  • 3
    Spray pan and add pasta and sauce (homemade or jar sauce of your choice ... either works) to pan.
  • 4
    Mix 1 entire bag of shredded mozzarella into the pasta and sauce.
  • 5
    Cover the mix with the second bag of mozzarella cheese (which will ultimately become a top cheese layer to the bake).
  • 6
    Bake for 40 minutes. Cover with tin foil for the first 20 minutes and uncover for the remaining 20.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
