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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole didn't turn out as expected. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too bland.

I'm not a big fan of ground beef, so I substituted it with ground turkey. It was just as good!
