Good 35º wispy clouds morning.
Yesterday was National Pasta Day and several asked me about this recipe I
posted a picture of.... so here it is.....
This artichoke pasta bake I got from Beth's website a long time ago and
modified it to suite me....
1# pasta (rigatoni or penne)
4 cups pasta sauce (your fav or homemade)
1 (14oz) can quartered artichoke hearts
1 (6oz) can whole black olives
4 oz crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 c. shredded mozzarella
1 or 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 bunch Italian parsley
Cook pasta in boiling salted water. Pre heat oven to 400º
Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts and olives (or leave olives
whole) Rinse and chop the parsley.
Drain the cooked pasta and return to pot... add pasta sauce, artichokes,
olives, and parsley. Stir together. Add Parmesan, feta, ricotta, and 1 c. of the
mozzarella. Stir. (If you don't have ricotta cheese add in some room temp cream
cheese) Transfer to 9x11 or 9x9 casserole dish, sprayed with cooking spray. Top
with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven
and sprinkle with a little more parsley.

All I know. Didn't get the green tomatoes pickled yesterday, so they will
get done today! Happy Thursday. Ciao.
