Pantry Clean-Out Pasta Bake
Made from what we had left before our cross-country move, no grocery run needed
We’re moving across the country in a week and I’ve made it my mission to not throw a single thing away. Every meal this week has been a pantry raid. Open the freezer, see what’s there, build around it.
This one came together on a night I was also making dinner for our neighbor who just had a baby. Bringing food to a family with a newborn is one of my favorite things, sort of my unofficial love language.
Everything in here is stuff I already had. Dry pasta, jarred marinara, cottage cheese, chicken sausage, and whatever cheese was left in the fridge. That’s it.
If you’re trying to use up what you have before a move, or just don’t feel like going to the store, this is the recipe. It is forgiving, it feeds a crowd, and it tastes like you spent way more time on it than you did.
Here’s my baked pasta dump!
