This dish is pretty much lasagna without the noodles. It’s super simple and very cheesy!
You start off with a layer of pasta sauce, pasta shells, meat, and cheese but wait it gets better…
You keep repeating this until you’ve got several layers of what will be a gooey cheesy dish.
The bubbly hot cheese will just form huge strings as you fix yourself a plate.
This dish is a great way to stretch a dollar. Serves 8 so share it with your friends or freeze some for later!
