cowboy leftovers to pasta cuisine

last night i made 

{the pioneer woman's cowboy calzone} 

it's a great reciepe

and i highly recommend it

and i had some of the 

meat mixture

left over

today

i didn't want calazone

and didn't want to throw out the meat

so 

i thought

and thought

opened my cabinets

to see what 

if any groceries i had

today is the must go grocery shopping

or starve to death day

and

i saw this

  and thought

"hmmm... backed penne with cowboy calazone meat mixture..

sure...

why not"

so 

i cooked the pasta

you know

boil water, add pasta, cook 8-10 minutes, drain water

if i can make pasta without looking at directions

so can you

used my 8x8 pan

you can use a 9x13 but

i didn't have that much meat to cover a 9x13 

layer it

meat, noodles, meat, noodles, etc

top with parmasean

and shredded mozzarella

place it in the oven

i did 350*F for 20 minutes

and

voila!

you have a new dish

made with leftovers

and 

it wasn't half bad either!

i would definitely make it again if i had left overs from cowboy calazones
