Baked Pasta & Mushroom Sauce Topped with Cheese

Does your child love pasta and sauce and CHEESE as much as mine does? Well here is one way to combine the two and an easy and cheap lunch of about $6!



Baked Pasta & Mushroom Sauce Topped with Cheese
Fiori Pasta          $1.28
Cheese slices      $2
          (maybe 8-10 slices)
Pennsylvania Dutchman Mushrooms
                             $1.36
G.V. Italian Garden Pasta Sauce
                            $1.30
This recipe is simple and just a new way of eating your pasta with the family!

Cook 1/2-1 whole box of pasta until al dente. Add salt and pepper or olive oil to the boiling water. Drain the water and place the cooked pasta into a baking dish. Cover in sauce, mushrooms, and cheese as desired. Place the baking dish in the oven at around 400 degrees F until cheese is crispy and melted through. My son devoured this lunch up today and enjoyed the shape of the Fiori pasta. Although he isn't a fan of the mushrooms, I baked only half of the pasta with a bountiful amount for me.

  2. It's actually Monterey Colby Jack to be precise lol. Any of those Great Value brand cheeses from Wal-Marts are my favorite to buy!!! They taste Amazing, are high in Calcium, and are Gluten-Free! The Gluten-Free sells me! :)
