I made this in parfait glasses with blackberries, raspberries, and bananas. And I had a box of devil's food cupcake mix so I used that for the cake. When the cupcakes were done, I crumbled the moist bottoms for the cake layers. The tops were perfect as "lids" on top the glasses. Everything made 12 parfaits with no leftovers. Excellent, although my daughter didn't like the bananas.

My daughter and her friend chose this recipe and proceeded to make it without reading the reviews. All I can say is: USE A BIGGER PAN! We followed the directions and tried to make it work with the 9" pan called for in the recipe. Much too small - it overflowed, there was not enough room for the cheesecake mixture, or the extra chocolate. We had to throw the mess away - waste of money! We should have read the reviews first :)

This was a pretty good staple and alternative to spaghetti. I didn't have zucchini on hand, so didn't use it. And I added onions, garlic, salt, Italian spice, and some Ragu to the mix. Like others had noticed, I did need to add more water as the pasta cooked. But my husband and kids liked it. The picky eater didn't eat the meat, but picked out the noodles. I served it with garlic bread. Will make it again!
