Everyday Southern Living tweets a dinner idea. A few days ago they tweeted about a Three Cheese Pasta Bake for dinner. I checked out the recipe and thought it sounded fantastic!  I decided to give it a try – with a few changes. 

The original recipe used ziti.  I didn’t have any ziti; I only had elbow macaroni.  I went with the elbow macaroni and it was fine.  I also added chicken to make this more of a meal than a side dish.  This was SO good!  It was even good reheated the next day for lunch.  If you don’t like ricotta, try substituting cottage cheese.  I halved the recipe below and it was enough for at least 4 or 5 people.

  1. My husband and I just prepared this dish for dinner and it was delicious! Next time, I will season my pasta noodles. I thought all of the cheeses and sauce would be enough, but it could have tolerated a little more. It was rich and delicious. Will definitely be making this again.

  3. mom2KandK – I don't think there would be an issue to freezing this dish. I totally understand busy weeknights! Great idea.

  4. I made this recipe a couple of months ago and my entire family loved it! And that is saying a lot because I have a couple of picky eaters. I plan to make it tonight and wondering how you felt on freezing half of it? My children have a busy after school schedule and I have been trying to find good freezer friendly meals to get a head start on those busy nights. I have almost completely cut out take out food from our diet! I was just not sure if this amazing meal would be freezer friendly. Thank you for sharing your great recipes!

  13. Instead of usinf ricotta or cottage cheese, I plan on using mascarpone, so much nicer than ricotta or cottage cheese (plus, that's how I make my homemade mac n' cheese). Or using greek yogurt is really nice too! I also agree with the poster who said to sautee the garlic in butter first, I would add basil and crushed red pepper flakes… I'm trying it tonight!
