pizza pasta bake recipe

Last night, Aaron and I made dinner. I was in the mood to try out a recipe from my Pinterest board so we found one we both thought sounded good and then went to the store to get the ingredients that we didn’t have. When we returned, we immediately started cooking. By the time we were done and able to try a bite, it was so delicious I felt like I had to share it on the blog!

Cover with aluminum foil (I recommend spraying it with non-stick spray so the cheese doesn’t stick to the top). Put in the oven.

Remove foil and cook for another 5-10minutes so cheese can fully melt.
