Lazy Cook’s Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
- 1 box (pound or so) of pasta, usually penne
1 (28 oz) jar of spaghetti sauce
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
Water
Directions:
Pour the uncooked pasta into a 13×9 pan. Add the spaghetti sauce. Fill the jar with water, put the lid back on, shake to get all the sauce cling-ons, and pour this into the pan. Mix well so all the pasta is moistened. Cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove from oven, carefully remove foil (hot steam alert), stir. Top with the cheese. Bake another 10 minutes uncovered. Serve with salad and Italian bread. Leftovers are good for lunch or dinner (reheat in microwave). For smaller families, halve the recipe: Use an 8×8 pan and freeze the undiluted extra spaghetti sauce with a note to use about 14 ounces of water when you make the second pasta bake. (You don’t need to save the empty jar!)
