Ingredients

4 to 5 cups Spaghetti Sauce - I used leftover homemade beef spaghetti sauce but any kind works, such as marinara.

3 or 4 cups Pasta - Already Cooked or Leftover Cooked Pasta - Your Favorite Short Pasta - Cooked

1 cup Shredded Mozarella cheese - or enough to coat the surface evenly

⅛ cup Ground Parmesan

⅛ cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs

1 cup Broccoli florets - Already cooked / or your favorite green veggie to mix in - cooked

1 to 2 tbsp Olive oil - or dots of butter for moisture

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl combine bread crumbs and grated/ground parmesan cheese with a spoon and set aside. In an oven-safe casserole dish, ladle half of your leftover spaghetti sauce at the bottom to create a sauce layer.

If desired, top the sauce with a thin layer of broccoli florets (or your favorite half-cooked green vegetable. It will finish cooking in the oven). Sprinkle cooked pasta over the broccoli or vegetable layer, if using. Give this layer a drizzle of olive oil or dot with bits of small cubed butter to add richness and moisture, if desired.
