Sometimes I look into my pantry and fridge and I have no idea what to make. I have so many components but my brain won't focus on what I can make with them. Well I made up this recipe on the spot just poking around in my cupboards and veggie bin. The recipe can be changed to include anything you have. It actually didn't occur to me to post it here because it seemed so random but my husband said it was so good that I had to. So here goes...
Recipe:
- Cook 1 pound pasta, I used whole wheat penne pasta. Make sure not to overcook it because you are going to put it in the oven at the end and you don't want it to end up mushy.
- In a bowl mix 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I used the type with 1/3 less sodium), about 1/2 a cup of milk, and chopped veggies ( I used mushrooms, corn, celery and onion). Stir in a can of chicken- I used one of the big cans 12.5 ounces- and I rinsed it first to get some of the sodium off of it. You could also use rotisserie chicken- but I was trying to use things right out of my pantry.
- In a casserole dish mix the pasta and the other mixture, stir in 1/2 cup of Shredded cheese (I used cheddar), top with a little cheese and Panko bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes
Review:
My husband's response was "I don't know what you put in that, but I swear I could eat the whole pan". I really liked it, it's super easy and super flexible to what you have on hand. It seems like it will be a good thing for lunch the next day. I will certainly be making this again.
