this sunday's dinner!

     i know it has been quite a while since my last recipe post... but here is a new one! this pasta casserole is absolutely delicious! its called Baked Shells Casserole and is perfect for those rainy spring nights!
     when making this dish you will need to have one pot to cook the noodles, one pot to cook the sauce, and then your casserole dish (which you will layer the two separate dishes). some coordinating is necessary!
     this dish calls for 6 garlic cloves but i LOVE garlic and i always put double, and sometimes even triple the amount of garlic. you will also want to add a little bit of extra seasoning to the dish because with all the pasta sometimes the flavor is not very bold. but for the first time making the dish maybe stick to the recipe, but be sure to add notes along the way that way you remember everything the next time you make it.
     just like my chili dish, this meal is good to make on a lazy sunday because you WILL have left-overs which you can take to work with you the next day, and then maybe the next day after that.
     in the recipe it says to add 1 small chopped carrot, i do not know about you but what is one small carrot going to do in a big casserole??? so i chopped up about five carrots. it also says to add two eggs to the pasta. every time i have made this i also add the egg in hopes that it will do something miraculous. the only thing the egg does is cook instantly and every time one person ends up with the egg. so add it if you want, but trust me there is no point!

finished product! right out of the oven!

here is a picture of the two layers

serve and enjoy!
