Easy Pasta Bake

I'm so sorry I don't have a picture of this one, but I assure you it's delicious enough to try without one.  If you don't have a blue cheese dressing on hand, that's OK.  Just omit it.  It will be delicious without! 

What you need:

1 box rotini pasta (or whatever pasta you wish)
1 jar organic spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 organic eggs
1/2 tbsp each garlic powder and onion powder
2 tsp basil
Salt/pepper

What you do:

Preheat oven to 375.  Cook pasta according to directions but just until al dente.  Drain and set aside.  In a large bowl, combine sauce, dressing, 1/2 cup of cheeses, eggs, and spices.  Mix until eggs are well incorporated.   Add in pasta to coat.  In a 9x13 glass baking dish pour in pasta and sprinkle remaining Cheddar and parmesan cheese on top.  Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly.  Let sit for five minutes before serving. 

It is such a simple dish but a fun and different way to serve pasta.  The blue cheese gives the dish a nice tang.  If you want to you could add in some Italian sausage or ground beef to give it a little bit more body.  I serve it with homemade garlic or cheesy bread.  It's a great weeknight meal and my kids love it.  :)
