after making this a few times, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't a very good recipie. it's kinda bland and the bottom is always dogh-y (dogh-y?) when you bake it so instead I give you this: the picky eater's/lazy cook's pasta salad I make a huge pot of this and take some for my lunch each day lol all the spelling errors XD you'll need: your choice of pasta (I like penne) your choice of cheese (I like mozza cut into cubes and parmazan) your choice of vegetable (I like broccolli) chicken broth (can it really be called "broth" if it's powder? I use chicken oxo) -as much as you want boil pasta and sprinkle in chicken broth once the pasta is almost finished, taste it. if it's bland, add more chicken broth. add your veggies now once it's done, drain, wait for it to cool, then add cheese very simple, but it's amazing! especially if you're like me and you have the tastes of a five-year-old XD I don't know if you can even call this a recipie ._.
