I want to take just a moment to share one of my family's favorite creations: Sketti Bake. Before I had Axel, I made the world's best lasagna. Every time I had friends over, they would request my lasagna and garlic bread. Unfortunately, lasagna is very time consuming, and time is something that I can never find, so I created Sketti Bake. I'm sure it's been done before, but I'm sharing my version anyway. It tastes very similar to lasagna, but it takes less than half the time. Enjoy!

| First, boil two packages of noodles. You will want thicker noodles like penne rigate or spiral noodles. For this one, I used one of each. Next, drain and distribute among two pans |
 |
| Next, add about 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce to each pan. You can add ground beef of course, but I didn't this time because I had none on hand AND was in a hurry. |
|
|
 |
| Finally, top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. |
 |
| One pan gets labeled and tossed in the freezer for another night... |
 |
| The other gets broiled just until the cheese melts and browns slightly. (about 8-10 mins) |
|
 |
| Serve with a fresh spinach salad, and enjoy! |
So there you have it, one of the easiest meals ever. I work nights usually, so it's nice to have something Jeff can pop in the oven while I'm on my way home, and we can eat as a family.
You can also saute green and red peppers while you're cooking the ground beef, and add when you add the sauce.
