Meatless Italian Macaroni Bake

Dont be deceived, this recipe looks singularly ordinary so one may be tempted to alter it…but then it’ll have all the subtlety of mac ‘n’ cheese w/ tomato…Please try it as written, discover the subtlety and simplicity of it all…As for me, this ‘casserole’ quickly became a favorite meal, particularly since I usually have all the ingredients already on hand…I imagine it could also be adapted to the microwave, but I’ll leave that to the alleged experts LOL
