I was searching this weekend
for a last minute dinner idea. You know how it is...it's Saturday and you've
been busy all day, look at the clock and it's already 4:30. I searched around
the net and came across this Southern Living recipe for Three Cheese
Baked Pasta and decided this was what was going to be for dinner. I
thought the recipe sounded easy and fantastic!
I did, however make two adjustments. There is no way my meat eater hubby was going to have a non-meat meal. I added chicken to appease my meat eater. I also did not have ricotta on hand but did have cottage cheese and substituted with that. This turned out so good, easy and the family raved on its deliciousness! Now, I never eat leftover pasta but my husband does. He said it was as delicious reheated as it was the first time!
