Other than heating it up, it would require minimal to no preps on-site, and it is so good, my grandson nearly eats the whole thing by himself! (LOL) I don't think it has an "a" words in it, but it does incorporate young spinach leaves.

Also Pasta Alla Ariabotta would be good, as long as you forgo the tube pasta like rigatoni, and use a thicker form of pasta. I like to use Cellentani when I'm going to be taking this to one of our group's functions. I undercook the pasta just a little, and the thickness of the corkscrew pasta means it doesn't turn to mush when reheated. Also, the sauce is one of the very few I've found or made that actually sticks to the pasta, rather than running off it.

BTW... both of these dishes are on the menu for suppers this week at our house.
