Baked Macaroni

Salam all,

Wish u all HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Goodbye 2011 & helloo 2012. Now its the time of the year again where u need a new resolution. I have one...to lose weight...heheh. What's yours? My last year resolution was to change my job to somewhere near my house before my son start his primary school..DONE! Wooohhoooo..:).

I know my recipe today is not about losing weight..heheh...hey its still 2011 right :D. Ok, i don't remember when the last time i prepared baked pasta. It was quite long time ago coz my hb doesn't really like macaroni. I tried to persuade him to believe that its all taste the same. Its the way u cooked the pasta & the sauce & the way u serve it. Am I right? hehehe..Ok here the recipe...
