Ingredients

• 12 oz. pasta (penne or rotini work great)
• 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 can (10.5 oz.) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Cheesy Green Bean Casserole Pasta

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Add the green beans to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the cooked pasta and green beans to the bowl with the sauce. Stir until the pasta and beans are evenly coated.
5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top, followed by the breadcrumbs. Drizzle with olive oil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overcook the pasta, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
• For an extra cheesy flavor, consider adding a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella or gouda.
• If you prefer a crispy topping, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Easy Variations

• Protein Boost: Add cooked chicken or turkey for a heartier meal.
• Vegetarian Delight: Swap out the cream of mushroom soup for a homemade vegan alternative.
• Herb Infusion: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or dinner rolls
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful side
• A light soup to start the meal
