Let’s say that we changed the way we categorize food. You’d flip open a cookbook, your finger gliding down the index, and in place of familiar section titles like "breakfast," and "appetizers," you’d find what you are really looking for.

You’d see a Strawberry Basil French Toast Casserole under the "What to make for unwanted but not unpleasant overnight guests" section. You’ll find a recipe for Cilantro and Sriracha Deviled Eggs under the "what to bring to my aunts for Easter brunch" list. And in the "something to take to a friend who just moved" section, you’ll see this pasta.

Of course, chocolate cake will be listed under the "I need to eat my feelings" section, the "I’m celebrating something big" portion, as well as the "how to win at the office potluck" category.

Beer will also be listed in all the sections, especially those about unwanted guests and family brunches.

To cook or not to cook the pasta when baking ? I can’t find the answer .. I suspect one would use cooked pasta ..

Jackie February 6, 2015 um 8:13 am

No. You use dry pasta. It gets cooked in the sauce

Sounds awesome, but I think it needs some kind of meat or protein. I think when I make it, I’ll add some sweet Italian sausage.

This dish couldn’t be simpler to make. I had it prepped a few hours before baking. Used a hefeweizen and it was absolutely delicious…decadent, creamy and crave-worthy! Thanks for a great recipe.

When you prepped ahead of time was it dry?

Should I follow the same directions if I intend on freezing it for later?

Reply

Jackie April 24, 2018 um 11:10 am

That should work jsut fine. It will take over an hour in the oven to bake if it’s frozen, just cover it with foil and keep an eye on it!

Meghan September 11, 2018 um 2:05 pm

Do you think this will work in a regular casserole dish? I don’t have 2 quart dish

Reply

Jackie September 11, 2018 um 2:17 pm

Yep! Use a 9×13

Sorry, Rob. I have to pay the bills somehow. It’s how I’m able to keep the lights on and give recipes away for free. They don’t develop themselves.

What kind of beer is best to use? And do you know if this freezes well?

Reply

Jackie November 20, 2018 um 8:26 am

It should freeze just fine. Use something that isn’t too hoppy, a wheat beer, a pale lager, a pilsner, something like that.

I’ve made this twice in the last month – so good! I did adjust the beer:water ratio a bit the second time because I found the beer flavor a little stronger than I was expecting (maybe I just used a beer that was too potent…) so I did 8oz beer and 12oz water and thought that was perfect. I also wilted about 2/3 of a bag of baby spinach and layered that on top of the rigatoni before pouring the sauce over and baking. Everyone loved it!

Jackie May 7, 2019 um 6:53 pm

That sounds great! yeah, if you use a hoppier beer the beer flavor is much more present
