Notes

  1. Gluten free pasta brands are all so different. Please cook your pasta according to the directions on the box.
  2. This casserole will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
