Baked Penne Rigate
Baked Penne Rigate is a recipe I make using my leftover “Sunday Sauce” when I make spaghetti.
If the sauce is frozen, I unthaw it either all day in the refrigerator, or if it’s last minute, in the microwave while the pasta is boiling.
If you don’t have any made (or time to make it), a jar of whatever Ragu style sauce you enjoy would work just fine too!
Just heat up your sauce while you boil the pasta, and then pour it all into a baking dish.
Cover the pan with foil, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add some shredded Mozzarella Cheese to the top.
Place it back in the oven for about 5 minutes, just so the cheese can melt.
Meanwhile, Slice a loaf of Italian Bread in half and top it with butter and garlic salt (or powder) and bake it for about 10 minutes.
If you have extra cheese, consider adding it to the bread for cheesy bread.
You could also add various herbs or spices, whatever your tastes prefer.
Finally, serve it on a plate, perhaps topping with Parmesan Cheese, to a hungry and waiting family.

I *hate* leftovers. I make my husband take them to work so I make sure to make something good for “leftovers”.
Leftover stale bread is really good for making French toast. It works best with thick,crusty bread, and it’s best the next morning.
I just reheat our leftovers, if any. I try really hard to make only enough for one meal. It’s just DH and I at home now and the leftovers can accumulate fast.
I see someone else does what my mom does – fry spaghetti to reheat it! Awesome!
just reheat for lunch…lol
I rarely make up something else from my leftovers. I do like to make a roast though and then use the meat later for shredded beef tacos
We rarely have leftovers, but I’d love to have a good sauce handy for quick meals!
Yum! Is your “Sunday sauce” made from scratch?
Many of our leftovers end up in omelets.
Favorite way to use up leftovers? Tell my son and his team mates to have at it! It’s gone in .5 seconds flat 😉
My husband usually takes leftovers to work the next day. So I end up cooking most nights.
I make a lot of shredded chicken, and use it for enchiladas or pasta.
Depending on what’s left over I will freeze for a meal later, make soups, pizza or stir fries.
My favorite way to use leftovers is to wisk them in a food processer, then use the thick mixture to enrich a stew or soup; I use my crockpot almost constantly this time of year.
I honestly dont have a special thing I do with them. I just put them in tupperware and eat it another time. lol
I don’t really have anything special I normally do with leftovers besides just eat them! 🙂
I usually put leftovers either in a stir fry or a soup.
If we have left over chicken breasts we usually make chicken salad or we do chicken, tomatoes, cheese and onion or peppers in a tortilla shell and warm them up abit
on dishes the family like.. i make a double batch and put in the freezer for another meal.. if I have just a little left over. it goes in hubby lunch or lunch for the kids if they are home
I like to fry leftover pasta!! Fried spaghetti is better than the first meal!
I usually make casseroles with my left overs
I usually done have left overs either .But when my mom has leftover potatoes she makes homemade potatoe pancakes.
I fry my leftover spaghetti! Add some cheesy topping. It is crispy like on the outside. Really quite tasty.
If the food is already good I love them second time around as is.
i make casseroles with my leftovers
I love to use leftovers in casseroles, salads or omelettes depending on what they are.
I tend to make casseroles often with leftovers
I sometimes just combine many leftovers and make a casserole
Looks delish.
