Tips: This was an easy pasta casserole that was very simple to put together and my daughter loved it. If you happen to keep string cheese on hand, try stringing two sticks into small pieces in place of the 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese. It tasted great and allowed me to use something I already had on hand. I also shared this recipe at Harrigan Howdy's Recipe Share Party & Food on the Table's No Whine Wednesday.
