Red and White Pasta Bake
This past week, I remade an old favorite of mine, Baked Cheesy Penne. This time though instead of penne I used spiral pasta. I immediately thought I should be making this more often because my entire family absolutely loves it! I loved the addition of the spirals because it reminded me more of a pasta salad although it is a baked dish.
I decided after using this recipe with spirals, Red and White Pasta Bake seemed like a more fitting name. This is very versatile and can be made with ground turkey, chicken, or beef. It also makes a large amount so it’s perfect for large families or to have leftovers!
If you are gluten free, I made this with Tinkyada pasta and Better Batter All Purpose Gluten Free Flour.
