Casserole#8: Pasta Bake

Pasta Bake Casserole is very very good. And cheesy. And melty. I encourage you to make it. You'll need:
1 bag frozen or fresh ravioli
1 bag frozen or fresh tortellini
2 jars spaghetti sauce
1 pint ricotta cheese
2 eggs
pepper to taste
1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1 bag frozen asparagus or other veggie.

Get a large casserole dish and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix your eggs, ricotta and pepper. It'll look like mashed potatoes, that means you did it right.

Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish.
Spread tortellini on top of that.
Cover tortellini with more sauce and then layer ricotta cheese mixture and shredded mozzarella on top.

The rest of my pictures are out of order again so here's what you do:
Put more sauce on top of the double cheese layer
Place ravioli on top of sauce
Pour entire bag of veggies over the sauce
Pour the rest of the sauce on top
Cover the whole thing with mozzarella
Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until cheese is brown and melted and sauce is bubbly.
Ready to go in the oven!

This was great. And toddler friendly though Eli was still feeling under the weather and more inclined to fling his food than to eat it. Under normal circumstances he loves anything pasta. He especially loves getting tomato sauce into his hair.
