FAQ's

• The pasta cooks while it's in the oven, so make sure that you don't overcook your pasta while you are boiling it, otherwise it will be mushy.
• For a beautiful pop of color, you can top the whole dish with a sprinkle of fresh basil or fresh parsley for garnish before you serve it.
• I used the Buffalo Wild Wings sauce, however you can use any type of bottled sauce that you can find at your local store.
• The sauce is typically spicy so before you add any extra heat, give it a taste test first!

Variations

• Don't have rotini pasta on hand? You can swap it out for penne pasta or any other type of round pasta but make sure you check the cooking time on the package.
• Want to add some vegetables to this pasta bake? Add fresh spinach to your casserole.Mushrooms or bell peppers would be terrific as well. Be sure to saute them first!
• Skip the oven and make this on the stovetop instead. That cuts the time into a quick 25-minute meal!

Storage

Refrigerate - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Also, instead of transferring your leftovers to another container you can cover your casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge.

Freezer - One great thing about this delicious dish is that it's freezer-friendly, so let the pasta cool completely then transfer it to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Reheat - Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or you could also reheat single servings in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. But, if you find that your sauce is a little dry, add a splash of whole milk or heavy cream to make it creamy again.
