This casserole is something that my family loves, can easily be made non dairy, and only takes less than an hour to prepare, bake, and serve. I call it pasta casserole, essentially it's really liked baked spaghetti using garden rotini, but you get the picture.
All you need is a full box of Garden Rotini style pasta, 3/4 container of your favorite pasta sauce, plenty of mozzarella cheese (or mozzarella flavored veggie shreds for those with a dairy allergy) and cooked/canned shredded chicken or cooked ground turkey burger. (You can also use ground beef, but my gall bladder can't handle it so I prefer ground turkey. Also, turkey is less greasy)
Preheat your over to 350. In a large casserole dish or two medium casserole dishes, mix your pasta, turkey burger, sauce, and about 2 full cups of cheese together. Once mixed, spread a layer of mozzarella cheese on top, how thick you want it depends on how much you like cheese. I like LOTS so i tend to put a lot on top. Cover your dish w/ foil or a lid and put that in the oven for 30 minutes. Use a spatula to serve with so you can have plenty of that top cheesy layer on every plate. Easy and your family will love it, dairy allergies or not ;-)
