Easy No Boil Pasta Bake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Pasta+oven means time saving all around. These days of distance learning w/two small kids plus partner and I working full time PLUS cooking and cleaning up after live-in extended family means there is no work-life balance. There is no life and even with planning and strategy weeknight dinners are a challenge. I followed the directions and added extra diced veg like onion, zucchini, bell pepper, mushroom (also chopped for 2 other meals at same time) as the author suggests. I held back a small amount of the water, maybe 20 oz instead of 24 to offset the moisture from the veg and eveyone in the house loved it. It was easy, EFFICIENT, and fast. With the chopped veg it took 10 min to put together AND stir at the end to add cheese. Its so rare that everyone here loves something thats also easy and makes few dishes. Heck yes will make every week from now on. 10/10 would recommend. I wanted this to work and it really, really did. Flipping miracle!
