Really Really Really Easy Meals#6 - Cavatini
Jaci made this stuff the other day and it was INCREDIBLE.
Now, I understand that not everyone is as big of a fan of left overs as I am. I can eat the same meal at least once a day for days or even weeks at a time if necessary. For example, I have eaten at least one hot dog per day EVERY…SINGLE…DAY for the better part of the last year.
Jaci and I made this Cavatini over a week ago and we still have some left in the freezer that we froze in individual Tupperware containers so that I can just throw them in my lunch box on the way to work and nuke them. The recipe makes such a big batch that each serving comes out to cost about a dollar. I do the same thing with lasagna, tuna casserole, roasts, goulash, Sloppy Joe’s etc. I just make a sh**load of the stuff and eat it for days and days and days. But again, I don’t mind leftovers. So if you are making Cavatini, be prepared for it to feed A LOT of people. Here’s how ya do it…
1) Boil a bunch of shell pasta.
2) While that’s boiling, brown some hamburger and season it with taco seasoning. Seriously.
3) Mix the hamburger and pasta and add as much spaghetti sauce as you want. Put it in a 9 x 13 or 11 x 13 pan. Put a whole bunch of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. I mean, completely cover it.
4) Put some tin foil on top and bake at 350 degrees for 20 or 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens and gets a little bubbly.
There you have it. A simple and spicy pasta bake. Man, this stuff is good.
wow that looks yummy and easy! i will def have to try that. btw, i commend u on being able to eat the same thing for days and days. i wish i could do that! i get sick of something after 3 days.

Just be really careful with the leftovers so you don’t get food poisoning.
