Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 recipe Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 12 ounces small shape pasta (like penne, shells, or Farfalle)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the Cream of Mushroom Soup (recipe here https://lifecurrentsblog.com/homemade-cream-of-mushroom-soup/ ).
  • While soup simmers bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta, cooking pasta for 1 minute less than the package instructions (pasta will continue to cook in the oven). Drain pasta, reserving about ½ cup of cooking water.
  • Stir cream of mushroom soup, salt, pepper, frozen peas, and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella together. Mix in the pasta. Mix in 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water. If mixture seems too thick, or if you’re making casserole a day before for leftovers, stir in additional pasta cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Place mixture in a casserole dish, and sprinkle remaining ½ cup shredded mozzarella over the top.
  • Bake casserole, uncovered, in 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and browned a bit.
