Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish (or two 8-inch square baking dishes) with cooking spray.

- Bake (covered) for 25 minutes.
- Remove dish from oven, take off cover, and give the pasta a stir. At this point it should be almost done, but still a bit firm ("al dente").

- Garnish with optional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

WAGON TRAIN PASTA
Our three kids just love the fun wagon wheel shapes in this easy recipe. The mildly seasoned sauce is something that even the pickiest eaters enjoy. For variety, try it with Italian sausage instead of ground beef. -Janine Freeman, Blaine, Washington
