This is a delicious way to use leftover pasta combined any sort of meats or vegetables. I even love to make this even when I do not have leftover pasta, I cook the pasta and this time I added fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and Italian sausage. The combination of pasta, cheese, vegetables and meat all cooked until it is enveloped in a golden crust. Crusty and delicious on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, a real taste treat. Serve with a side of marinara sauce, if desired.
