Layered pasta bake

 


What I had:

  • 8-10 ounces (roughly half the container) of cooked angel hair pasta
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb hot sausage, cooked
  • 1 lb butternut squash, sauteed and mashed a little
  • 1 large white onion, sauteed
  • 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Honestly, once you have the base, you can use whatever meats and veggies you want!

What I did:
  • Mixed the cooked pasta, eggs, and parmesan cheese
  • Spread it evenly in a 9X13 pan
  • Baked at 350 for 10 minutes
  • Spread the cream cheese over it (some recipe I saw said to use wax paper to roll the cream cheese, didn't work for me. I think it would be better to heat it up and pipe it over the base)
  • Layered the squash, onions, and sausage
  • Sprinkled the mozzarella cheese evenly on top
  • Tented aluminum foil over the pan
  • Baked for an hour at 350
  • Moved pan up to top shelf, removed foil, broiled on low for 5 minutes
Hey, the kid and husband loved it, so I can it a winning experiment!
