Lilly's Two Timing Casserole

The following recipe was inspired by my friend Lilly. We decided to call it a two timing casserole because there is a creative license with this recipe-any leftover pasta can evolve into a delicious casserole with a few simple additions (namely cheese), hence this dish is a two timer.

If you haven't any pasta leftovers but fancy a baked pasta casserole, try the following on for size.

  • Olive oil
  • Fusilli Pasta (about 1/2 a bag or 4 handfuls cooked)
  • 4 quartered tomatoes
  • 1 Yellow onion sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 zucchini chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 Cup each Cheddar and Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

Begin with roasting the tomatoes. Place quartered tomatoes in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Herbes de Provence as well as salt and pepper. Roast for an hour.

Move on to the pasta and cook in a large pot of water.

In a skillet, add olive oil, onions and garlic. After two minutes add the zucchini and brown all ingredients.

Now combine everything into a large baking dish and top with cheese (as seen below).

Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
