Need:
- 1 package (16 oz) rigatoni or large tube pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce
- 2 cups (8oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- The recipe doesn't call for meat but I used ground sausage, hamburger could also work too. I used 1lb for half of the recipe.
- Cook pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and salt until smooth; gradually add milk and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Drain the pasta; place in a large bowl. Add eggs. Spoon into two greased 8 in square baking dishes. Layer each with one can of tomato sauce (This is where I put in the meat), half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the white sauce. Sprinkle each casserole with half the parmesan cheese.
- Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months. Bake second casserole, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a meat thermomter reads 160 degrees.
- To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 7-10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
