This crazy easy pasta dish makes a great side for almost any chicken or fish meal. You’ll love how quick and simple it is to make, with just 3 ingredients!
One of the most common questions I’ve heard since I’ve been pregnant (besides how I’m feeling or how far along I am) is if I’ve had any cravings yet.
So far I haven’t really craved anything too crazy or out of character for me, but I definitely have been wanting pasta dishes more often!
I made this baked pasta dish with gluten free pasta to at least avoid the processed flour, but you can use any brand of penne pasta.
For the sauce, I tried out the new RAGU Homestyle Pasta Sauces. This thick sauce is perfect for this dish! I also love how it is made without artificial flavors, artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup.
These little pasta cups make a cute side dish, but they are also a great way to control portion sizes. It’s a lot easier to be sure you stick to the recommended serving size when you divide the pasta out like this before serving.

Very clever! I’d make a bunch of these li’l cuties and freeze them for those last-minute cravings!

That is a brilliant idea! I’m wanting to do some freezer cooking before my baby is born, so I like your idea of freezing these. It would make an easy lunch or side for dinner!
