TWO LAYER BAKED PASTA



Two Layer Baked Pasta image

I love both red & white sauces for pasta! This recipe is easier than making lasagna yet perfect for relaxed entertaining. It can be made in advance & refrigerated for up to 8 hours or foil wrapped & frozen for up to 2 weeks. If you can't find "cavatappi" (the thick cork screw shapes), use some other short pasta such as penne or rotini.
