This baked pasta recipe is a very simple dish that's amazingly delicious. Both sauces are made from scratch, which makes the dish appear fancier. Rigatoni pasta is layered between a rich and meaty Bolognese sauce and a creamy Bechamel sauce. During the baking process, the sauces slightly blend. On top is a hefty dose of shredded Italian blend cheese. Serve with a simple salad for a comforting pasta dinner.
