This casserole is soul satisfying in the way only a massive pan of cheesy pasta can be. It is especially delicious when combined with a hunk of crusty bread, some mixed greens dressed in lemon and olive oil, and a gaggle of your closest friends/family. Make it tonight–I promise it won’t disappoint!
