Try my guy's fav. A fast and easy baked ziti. You can use any kind of pasta though. cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, put into a cake pan, stir in a jar (or more if you like it saucier)of your favorite sauce cover it with foil and bake for 20 min. top with mozzarella cheese the more the better, and a little parmesean, and bake for another 10 min.

straight from "VICTORIA'S" kitchen: yankee doodles maccaroni and cheese bake. preheat oven 350o
8oz maccaroni (precooked).1 can of cheddar cheese soup.
1/2 can milk. 1-11/2 c of shredded cheddar or jack cheese..
1/2 tsp garlic. dash or 2 of tabassco. salt & pepper to taste.
combine ingredients (wait to add maccroni!) in sauce or cassarole dish, it doesn't really matter. i like to warm on top of stove as if i were making soup just long enough so it's not lumpy
then add maccroni mix then stick in oven for 30 to 45 minutes. should serve 6 or more.
