About

When the ocean is unreachable but is still calling your name, Coastal Pasta Bake provides the taste of the tropical shore you're longing for. Pink, plump shrimp are twirled together with waves of bouncy angel hair pasta, two types of melty cheeses, and a whole jar of chunky, tangy salsa. Yet another kind of savory cheese sprinkles the divine mix and swims in a sea of creamy goodness. While best eaten by the water, Coastal Pasta Bake will make life feel like a beach anywhere you go.
