ROTINI CASSEROLE



Rotini Casserole image

This is great to prepare the night before, cover with plastic wrap, store in the frige and bake the next night after work. I don't remember where it came from and then of course it evolved as time passed. Before the computer, I didn't keep records, I kept notes, without a filing system.

Rotini and Salami Casserole image

This is a great potluck dish or a main entree for dinner. It's very heavy, so a small portion goes a long way.

Provided by marietta66

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked rotini pasta
2 (28 ounce) jars pasta sauce
½ pound salami, cubed
2 (8 ounce) packages shredded Italian cheese blend
8 (1 ounce) slices provolone cheese
Italian seasoning to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place rotini in the pot, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain, and mix with the pasta sauce to coat.
  • Scoop half the pasta and sauce into a large casserole dish. Layer with 1/2 the salami, and 3/4 of the shredded cheese. Cover with remaining pasta mixture, layer with remaining salami and shredded cheese, and top with provolone slices. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses offer different flavors and textures, so don't be afraid to experiment. A good combination is a blend of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the casserole.
  • Use a large baking dish: A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for a rotini casserole. This will allow the casserole to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes. If the casserole is not cooked through, it will be runny and unsafe to eat.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

Rotini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, tender pasta, and melted cheese, it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give rotini casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
