Step 1
1. I had some leftover side dish (noodles), so I decided to make a tasty noodle casserole with meat. This dish can be made with any type of pasta. If you use thin noodles or spaghetti, the finished casserole will resemble a pie (a single cohesive piece), while using larger pasta shapes will result in a more crumbly texture. I used thin noodles, and the taste of the finished dish wasn't affected. Add eggs, salt, and spices, then mix everything thoroughly.
