Recipe FAQ
Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave and larger servings in the oven or on the stovetop if need be.
This is the perfect type of casserole to take to the neighbors! If you would like to prepare this casserole and freeze before baking I would suggest preparing it in a disposable foil pan. Then cover with the lid, or foil and place in the freezer. This should last about 2-3 months.

Delicious. I subbed milk for cream and added 8 oz cream cheese. Used only 1/4 c sour cream and only 1 can soup. I was using what I had on hand.
Creamy and savory and easy to make. It was a nice change from our typical chicken and Alfredo pasta dinner.
Made this a few nights ago and my boys gobbled it all up! They loved it(plus it has vegetables too;))
