Pasta Pizza Bake

I meant to post this earlier this week when I made it, but time got away from me, so I am just now posting this recipe here.

I am one of those people who have to have a recipe in order to bake something most of the time. Stephen has been really encouraging me to use my culinary skills and just experiment sometimes. Well...here is my latest experiment!

I wasn't for sure what I was going to do but I had Penne Pasta, hamburger meat, pizza sauce, and mozarella cheese. I just started throwing things together and it turned out AWESOME!!!

Here is the recipe for you! Hope you enjoy.
