Barb's Notes:
A family favorite! I have also made 2 of these casseroles for a party, everyone loved it! Hope you do too!

Directions

With 1 tbsp. butter, grease a 12 x 8 pan.

Combine eggs, half and half, yogurt, Swiss cheese, feta cheese, basil, oregano, and parsley in medium bowl, mix well.

Spread 1/2 of the pasta on the bottom of prepared pan. Cover with salsa. Add 1/2 of the shrimp. Cover with remaining pasta. Spread egg mixture over pasta and top with remaining shrimp. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.

Bake at 350*, 30 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes. This is also very good the next day, so could always be baked a day ahead of time.

When do you pour in the eggs/cream/etc? Does that go in the pan before your first layer of pasta or do you do your layers first, then pour this over the top, then sprinkle on the cheese?

Thank you Kay! I missed a few words. Yes, you add the egg mixture over the pasta in Step 3. Hope you try it, it's really good.

Do you cook the pasta before preparing the casserole dish?

No, with the angel hair it is so thin, it cooks in the casserole. Check to be sure it's soft before taking out of the oven. I use the package of dry noodles but the recipe says "fresh", I might try the refrigerated fresh pasta next time!

Shrimp? Yum! Cheese? Yum! In combination...heaven! I agree Barb; the fresh angel hair would be the way I would go, especially as only the bottom layer of pasta is covered with the salsa for moisture. I'm thinking I will only use half of the salsa on the bottom layer of pasta. Then pour the remaining over the first layer of shrimp and remaining uncooked pasta. Wonderful recipe Barb!
