Cheesy Rigatoni Bake (Omac)

Submitted by Lisa Lou Who

"Rigatoni is a pasta that I am not particularly fond of. I do like this dish and best of all so do the kids. This makes 2 casseroles so you can freeze one if just feeding your family or bake both now if feeding a crowd. To reheat frozen casserole, take from freezer and thaw in fridge overnight. Cover and bake at 375°F for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more."
