I absolutely love pasta.
Actually, I don’t know any people that do not like pasta. There is something amazingly comforting
about a baked pasta dish. I have been
trying to think of new ways to make pasta – which seems to be a staple meal in
our house.

We typically buy elbow noodles. It is what the kids have always preferred,
they are not quite ready for spaghetti, or maybe I am not ready for the mess it
creates! I decided to buy penne pasta
though, for a little change. And also
because I wanted to make a baked pasta dish.

The kids absolutely loved this, which I was surprised
by. They are not big meat eaters, and I
wasn’t sure how the sausage would go over, but they loved it. I think it might have had something to do
with them putting the penne pasta on their fingers and calling it “finger
noodles,” but I was happy that everyone ate the meal! That seems to be rare these days.
