Elbow Macaroni Bake

The original recipe that I doctored was a Ziti Bake, however I didn't have any Ziti and the only thing remotely similar in my pantry was elbow macaroni.  So while the name doesn't sound fancy, it's basically the same thing.
The best thing about this recipe is how stinking easy it is.  You don't even have to boil the pasta!  Just throw everything together and bake!  And it comes out fantastic!




Ingredients:
  • 26 ounces spaghetti sauce (I used a jar of Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro - Homemade-Style)
  • 16 ounces fat free sour cream
  • 14 ounces vegetable broth
  • 1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese , shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese , shredded
  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni

Directions:


  1. Preheat over to 400°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine spaghetti sauce with sour cream. Stir in broth.
  3. Add 1/2 cup Mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  4. Stir in pasta and blend well.
  5. Pour out into 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for one hour.
  6. After one hour, take out baking dish, uncover (carefully—very hot steam), and sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
  7. Return dish to oven without cover and bake 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.



This makes 9 servings at 9 points+ per serving.
