EASY WEEKNIGHT PASTA BAKE

I have been making this dish for years and it’s kind of our “old faithful” when we want something fairly quick, easy and delicious. The thing we love most about it is that you can switch it up depending on what you have in your fridge/your preferences and since it’s just for the two of us it leaves a crazy amount of leftovers which solves the lunch dilemma for a couple days or gives us another dinner during the week! This also makes a great dish to bring to a party or a dinner because all it needs is to be heated through so keep it in mind for the upcoming holiday season. Sometimes we grind up our own meat using our kitchen aid mixer attachment (usually chicken) or we just load it up with veggies and no meat but this version had sausage, peppers and onions which is my favorite!
