Don't Try This At Home

I thought I was pretty smart yesterday afternoon, when I dumped pasta into the big dutch oven in which I had made a rich meat sauce, then popped it into the oven. I thought I was saving myself the trouble of washing a casserole dish....

It wasn't until I took the pan out of the oven that I remembered why I use a casserole - and why I always grease it well, with olive oil, before adding the food to be baked. Even after an overnight soak, the dutch oven was a bear to clean - the casserole would have rinsed mostly clean and gone into the dishwasher.

So much for saving myself trouble!
