Have you ever made a great spaghetti with meat sauce and ended up with leftovers that just don't seem to have as much pizazz after zapping them in the microwave? Not to worry, Amateur Foodie is here for you, dearies.
My solution? A quasi-lasagna dish. It doesn't matter if you have one serving of leftover pasta or six, this transforms it into something warm and melty that just seems to work.
Transfer your leftover pasta into an oven-safe pan (sized appropriately for your quantity of pasta). Pack it down fairly well, then top with mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake in a 400-degree (Fahrenheit) oven until the top is melted and the sauce is bubbling. You can also check to make sure that the center is warmed through (Nothing's worse than a delicious, hot pasta casserole with a cold middle).
Enjoy with garlic bread, salad, whatever you want.
Buon Appetito!
