Mini Pasta Loaves! :)

Ingredients:

leftover pasta
leftover spaghetti sauce
2 eggs
shredded mozzarella cheese
butter (if desired)
cottage cheese or ricotta (if desired)


You can make these in muffin tins too. They're fun, easy to make and of course super scrumptious!

You mix cooked spaghetti noodles, or whatever pasta you have on-hand, (I used whole wheat linguine and elbow macaroni) into a bowl with shredded mozzarella cheese and two beaten eggs. You can add 1/4 cup of butter if desired but I never do.... They won't stick on you if you don't add the butter.

Then you toss the pasta noodles around until they are coated with the eggs and cheese, then fill each greased (with oil or butter) muffin hole 1/2 full with the pasta mixture. Be sure to leave room for the sauce.

For your next layer, you can add cottage or ricotta cheese for a more lasagna effect...or not. Then add a layer of spaghetti sauce on top of each pasta nest and top with grated cheeses.
Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until tops are browned and let sit five minutes before serving with garlic bread!

A great meal for kids, company, parties or gatherings...or just anytime you wanna have some fun in the kitchen! You wont be disappointed.

Bon Appetit! 😊
