Baked Rigatoni

This is a dish that's easy to do and thanks to 99 Cent Only Store...I fed my family of 4 with PLENTY of leftovers for around SEVEN BUCKS!

Here's the Recipe and Savings!

(You can cut this recipe in half...but I love having leftovers to feed the mass of teens in and out of our house during the summer days and nights!)

2 Bags Rigatoni Pasta

1 Can Whole Tomatoes

1 Can Garlic & Onion Tomato Sauce

1 Bag Cheese (variety is king at the store - so choose what kind you want)

2 Pkg. Italian Squash

*There's your $7.00

Seasonings can be whatever you have on hand!

Boil the pasta until it's al dente - you don't want them mushy and falling apart. 

Drain noodles. 

Rough chop whole tomatoes. 

Put the noodles back into your pot you cooked them in and add the whole tomatoes and sauce and stir. 

Add the cheese and any seasonings you want from simple salt and pepper to garlic salt, oregano, basil or any Italian seasonings you wish! And STIR!

Pour everything into a casserole dish and back at 400 for about 20 minutes. 

AND EAT!!

I was lucky to find Italian Squash at the 99 Cent Only Store and I sauteed that in some EVOO with a dash of salt, pepper and oregano and there's my side!

Oh...and for dessert - Chocolate Chip Cookies....so for a grand total of about $8.00 for dinner for 4 AND leftovers galore!
