Tricia’s Easy Fancy Spaghetti Casserole

Posted By Tricia H On September 27, 2012 @ 5:00 pm In Pasta,Recipes | 1 Comment

I went to make our very favorite meal, Italian Stuffed Shells [6] [5]. Alas, no large shell pasta was in the pantry. What was I to do? Aha! Make it anyway with spaghetti noodles. I already had the noodles cooked – leftover from spaghetti a couple nights ago.

So I mixed up the stuffing, poured in a can of sauce, added the cooked noodles. I tucked it in the oven. Frugal, favorite ingredient spaghetti feeds a crowd!

Feel free to sneak in a little spinach, a scoop of sour cream or whatever your favorite spaghetti toppings are. This is truly a made up recipe, so the following ingredients are approximate. As long as your sauce keeps your noodles moist, you can’t go wrong.
