I realized something the other day.  Every casserole recipe that I am drawn to involves some sort of pasta, some sort of meat, some type sauce or another, and at least one kind of cheese.  Since all these things generally combine into awesome, I’m starting to wonder if there is any other kind of casserole worth eating.     😉 This casserole takes the flavors from a traditional enchilada dish and transforms them into an easy and low fat pasta meal.
