Not being a big baked pasta fan, my husband saw I was making this and looked a little disappointed. But, once he ate it, he changed his tune. He really liked it and so did I. The only change I made was I added a couple of extra cloves of garlic while cooking the meat and onions.

We all liked it but didn't care much for the mozzarella cheese. Will leave it out the next time. May try ricotta cheese instead. I used link Italian sausage instead of ground, which was good.

This was a very good, hearty meal. I added fresh garlic as well, and froze half to eat later. Good for leftovers!

LOVED THIS!!! BUT, I changed it a tad, I used a smaller can of tomato sauce and used a jar of garden style spaghetti sauce (which has green peppers and mushrooms) instead of the tomatoes and tomato paste. I liked subtle taste of wine in the pasta bake. My family just gobbled this up.

This was a big hit in our house last evening. Yummy! I didn't have white wine in the house when making the dish, and it STILL tasted great. I also used turkey sausage in the dish, to cut down on some fat.

My family really liked this. It was quick and easy for a Sunday night dinner after working hard in the yard and household chores, I had little energy to put into a big meal. It was ready and on the table within an hour and 10 minutes. I added garlic with the onions and sausage and took another's advice and reduced the tomato by eliminating the tomato paste. I also didn't have the type of cheese recommended, so substituted a little bit of chedder cheese on "one" side of the dish since some family members dont like melted cheese. I also added some sliced olives and chopped marinated artichokes. My 18 and 23 year old were actually fighting over the leftovers! Thanks for the inspiration!

We really liked this. To make it more "kid-friendly" for my picky 11-yr old, I added pepperoni to the top of the casserole before the cheese. He really liked it. I also added about 1/2 tsp of Italian Herb Seasoning, although after eating it, it probably didn't need it. It was flavorful enough with the other ingredients. The pepperoni will be a standard ingredient when I make this again, though.

This turned out really well...even my picky husband gave me the "go ahead" and prepare again in the future. Like another reviewer, I too used spaghetti sauce in place of all the canned tomatoes. I didn't use near as much cheese called for...I sprinkled on just enought to cover the top. I also used "hot" italian sausage which gave it a little kick. Good Recipe.
