Baked Pasta Shells

1 lb. small pasta shells cooked
1 jar spaghetti sauce
3 T. butter
3 T. flour
2 cups milk
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/8 t. dry mustard
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated parmasean cheese
1 cup mozzarella

Preheat oven to 350. Butter or spray a 9x13 pan and pour in cooked pasta shells. Melt butter in a medium sized sauce pan. Add flour and stir for 2 or three minutes. Add salt, garlic powder, dry mustard, pepper, and milk and continue to cook and stir until sauce thickens. Once the sauce thickens, remove it from the heat and add parmesean cheese. Pour parmesean sauce over cooked shells. Pour spaghetti sauce over shells and parmesean sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked to your liking. (We like our cheese to brown a little.)

Not as good as a sandwich, but we can’t eat bread and meat for every meal… can we?

I tried this the other night and my whole family gave it a big thumbs up! (It's hard to find something that everyone in my family agrees on, so this was a hit!)
