This was great, even though I omitted the butter by mistake and also mixed ALL the cheeses together at once. (subbed ricotta cheese and shredded parm). I was in hurry ... so didn't pay close attention to directions. I topped it with extra mozzarella. I'm concluding this is a fool-proof meal! Will definitely make again. Maybe I'll even follow the directions next time!

EXCELLENT. I could only find Ranch Style Blackeye Peas (canned) (seasoned w/bacon). I also used Red Gold Fiesta Mexicana Diced Tomatoes (seasoned with lime juice and cilantro). Read reviews, so added Green Giant Mexicorn and also sweet turkey sausage. Oh My Goodness. This was soooooo good. We will not only eat this every New Years Day (with the cornbread, as suggested) but also throughout the winter. I'm sure the original vegetarian version is excellent, too. I'll use that when my daughter visits. I love these kinds of recipes that can be "tweaked" depending on what you have on hand in the kitchen. Thank you Lynn, for such a great recipe! (And for starting off our New Year right! :-)

I used canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes and left out the garlic, since the tomatoes were already seasonsed. Whole wheat penne pasta, 1/2 reduced fat feta and 1/2 basil tomato feta. It was DELICIOUS. Great side dish, or might add some cannellini beans for a wonderful main dish for my vegetarian daughter.
