Instructions
Gail's note: Weighed out 9 ounces of "Jumbo Shells". There were only 24, not 48. Also this casserole needs more sauce. Since vegetables are free (tomato sauce), it would be easy to double the sauce recipe, could probably keep the oil the same so as not to increase the fat. In a pinch, substitute your favorite jarred sauce.
