This is a family favorite, writes Nancy Urbine from Lancaster, Ohio. One of our four children always asks for it as a birthday dinner. Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) rigatoni or large tube pasta |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups milk |
1/4 cup water |
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Cook pasta according to 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.
2. Drain 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, half the mozzarella cheese and half the white sauce. Sprinkle each with half the Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake casseroles, uncovered, at for 30-35 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 2 casseroles (6 servings each).
