My thoughts:
Someone mentioned Trader Joe's selling a frozen cauliflower shell pasta casserole "Cauliflower & Cheesy Pasta Shells" that they liked but it kept selling out earlier they could larn their hands on it. I googled as well as constitute a moving painting that showed the ingredients as well as idea I could pretty easily brand that at domicile from scratch as well as utilisation upwards ingredients I had on manus for recipes I had planned for those black days afterward my married adult man melted our oven controls. I had ricotta for an eggplant dish that never materialized, Italian blend cheese for the same dish, one-half a box of pasta I had earmarked for the shrimp salad I never made as well as roughly random cauliflower all taking upwards infinite inward my fridge. I took roughly liberties as well as added celery as well as parsley for roughly coloring (and to utilisation them up!) as well as capers because I dearest capers with a fervent passion.
I did non grow upwards inward a casserole eating household unit of measurement (unless you lot count mac as well as cheese) as well as receive got never had a casserole anyone but I receive got made (unless you lot count crab dip) as well as therefore I'm e'er a piffling nervous how they volition plough out (am I missing roughly crucial measurement or ingredient?) but I actually enjoyed this one! It was flavorful as well as hearty as well as I intend would live on welcome at whatsoever table. It has an Italian bent to it, but I intend it would fifty-fifty operate amongst traditional Thanksgiving dishes side past times side week. You could fifty-fifty arrive the black earlier as well as only popular it inward the oven spell the turkey rests earlier carving, only accept attention to allow it come upwards closer to room temperature earlier baking to speed upwards the cooking fourth dimension as well as to avoid the dish neat due to thermal shock.
