1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (or 220 degrees Celsius). Place the uncooked pasta into the bottom of the casserole dish before adding the vegetables and the spices over the top. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup, the cream of chicken soup, the water and the milk and stir everything until well mixed and all of the pasta has been coated in liquid. Make sure that the liquid is covering the pasta (if necessary, add a bit more water to ensure that the pasta is covered).
2. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir well immediately. Serve with a side of crusty bread or a sprinkling of freshly grated parsley over the top.
TIP: Add some meatiness to this recipe by adding cooked, shredded chicken along with the pasta.
