Pasta Casserole

"I snuck a meatless meal into my husband with this recipe. He didn't realize there was no meat until he got halfway through his second helping. However, you CAN add some chopped up pepperoni, or other meat, to the sauce, or you can use marinara sauce that has meat already in it. I used asiago instead of Parmesan as I had that on hand. I found this recipe in a Chicago Tribune article on quick meals for weeknight dining."
