Directions
Two-Cheese Mushroom, Chunky Tomato and Olive Penne Bake,Quite a tasty pasta dish! To make this into a main meal add in some cooked diced chicken or turkey. The sauce can be made days ahead and just rewarmed. When I made this last I added in the sliced green olives right into the casserole instead of on top, but that is optional.,This turned out so delicious! My DH has eaten it two days in a row, which is unusual for him! I halved the recipe and I think it’s still about 6 servings. I didn’t have mozzarella, so used cheddar. I didn’t have the full amount of canned tomatoes, so used some spagetti sauce to fill in and it worked out great! Thank you so much Kitten!
