This Recipe Will Feed All of Your Friends For $15 By mollie  [89 more lists]

My dad might kill me for sharing this tasty secret with the world, but here it is: his pasta bake has magical powers. Seriously. It has the incredible ability to stretch to feed as many people as there are empty stomachs in a room, without costing you anything extra in ingredients. It truly is a superfood -- quick, delicious, stretchable and easy enough that even my father can cook it without setting off the smoke alarm, no easy feat, trust me.

Directions (Ingredients are below):
-Lightly grease a large baking dish with a little bit of olive oil or butter (your choice)
-Lay down a thin layer of bread crumbs. Any bread crumbs will do, although I like to make mine fresh by putting some old bread, parmesan cheese and a little basil in a blender with a touch of olive oil.
-Lay down a layer of sauce on top of that.
-Lay down a layer of spinach on top of that.
-Lay down a layer of pasta on top of that.
-Lay down a layer of sausage on top of that.
-Lay down your cheese blend (a grated combination of cheeses below)
-Start the process over again.
-Repeat until the baking dish is filled.
-Top with another layer of bread crumbs and a few pats of batter on top of that.
- Cook in a 450 degree oven until the cheese on top is brown and bubbly.
