Perfect Penne



I was shopping with my brother the other day (can you tell I'm living at home again?) and I asked him what he wanted for dinner.
His response: Italian.

.....

k.

So, I really didn't have time to make anything elaborate before rehearsal, so I made my own take on baked Ziti.

It was pretty good :)

What you'll need:
1 box Penne pasta
1 jar Sockaroonie sauce
1 small bag of italian cheese blend
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt to taste

Bring water to boil with olive oil and pinch of salt


Add Penne and boil til pasta is tender.


Drain and place pasta back in pan. On medium low heat, add Sockaroonie sauce to the pasta. When stirred well, add half the bag of cheese and stir til melted.


In a 9x13 pan, spread pasta and sauce mixture out evenly, and cover the top with the remaining cheese. 


Place in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.


And you're done!

I loved this, and it made a ton! We're still finishing off the leftovers :) So, it's perfect for potlucks or holidays. Oh! It'd be great for christmas eve!
