The name says it all! whether it's a holiday or any ordinary night of the week, you don't need to spend a long time in making this delicious casserole..this is one of our favorites..even my husband- who doesn't like cooked vegetables. This is a very versatile recipe as you can change up the veggies and the pasta even add your favorite spices and even add some cooked shrimp, chicken or hamburger as I do if there are any leftovers...enjoy...
