We've paired two things everyone enjoys--casseroles and pasta. The secret ingredient in each of these recipes is frozen pasta, which is sold at your local grocery store in a variety of shapes and stuffings. The flavors are great, and they conveniently go from the freezer into the baking dish without any thawing or precooking.

1. Tex-Mex Ravioli Casserole
2. Vegetable Manicotti

"Start With Frozen Pasta" is from the February 2006 issue of Southern Living.
