Several years ago one of the pasta sauce companies sold a jar of pasta sauce that you could add to dry pasta for an easy, oven-baked pasta dish. After purchasing this product once (on sale, of course!), this is what I came up with.
If you would like to add fully cooked meat or mushrooms, onions, etc., sprinkle on top when you add the cheese. You can brown some hamburger, sausage while the pasta is baking. I have also used pepperoni, too.

I recently got 40 boxes of free pasta. Any suggestions besides pasta salad, and spaghetti? I have all kind of pasta and need some ideas. Also I have about 40 cans of mild green chiles. Do you know any recipes which use a lot of them? Thanks so Much!

You might want to check with the company that made the pasta as to proper storage. We love ring pasta and can only find it on our trips to New York. We store up on it and get quite a few boxes of it. The last time we did this though, the rings cooked up like mush no matter how we cooked it, timed it, etc. I finally wrote to the company to ask what I was doing wrong and they said it was a storage problem with the manufacturing/store destination. It wasn't how we were cooking it but the way it had been stored caused it to change. Possible temperature changes in transit, humidity, etc. They were nice enough to replace the pasta with coupons for new boxes. But improper storage can be an issue.
I am catering a lunch for the teachers at my school and they have requested pasta dishes, some vegetarian. I need to feed 120.

A simple recipe is to cook your pasta and add a nice thick soup, what ever type you like.We prefer a chicken and vegetable soup with some cooked frozen peas, delicious.
Hope this helps.
*I used a scale to measure out 6 oz.
Brown sausage, beef, onion and bell pepper. Drain well. Add to spaghetti sauce, mushrooms and pepperoni. Simmer sauce for 1 hr. Meanwhile cook pasta until half done. Drain water. When sauce is ready add to noodles, mix and put in a 9x13 inch pan. Bake 25 minutes at 325 degrees F. Top will mozzarella cheese, put back in oven for approximately 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serves 8-10

Good idea with the individual boats.. Think I'll do that next time instead of large pan. (08/31/2006)
