This was really good! I'm giving it 4 stars because some of the pasta that was at the top and on the sides got a bit crispy, but other than that, this was a quick and easy meal to make! I used spaghetti sauce in place of the tomato sauce, for added flavor. I also added garlic salt and italian seasonings to the white sauce. Will definitely make again!

Have made this numerous times. Always goes over well with the company. It took me awhile to make the sauce thick and creamy instead of chunky and thin, but all I did was add a little more butter(about one more tbsp). It is my go-to dish whenever I need a casserole, and having the second one waiting in the freezer is wonderful!

This recipe is good and something I will make again with just a few tweaks. Normally, baked rigatoni is nothing special around our house; just something I through together when I have very little time. Tonight, I was going with the same ol' when I found this recipe. My pasta was already boiling so I had very little time and not all the listed ingredients. I accidently used two eggs but I was pleased with the result. I used jarred spaghetti sauce and I think that added a nice flavor. I mixed all the ingredients together instead of layering them. Finally, I tempered the eggs with the bechamel sauce (white sauce) because I was afraid they would scramble (they actually were fine). Next time, I will add the parmesan cheese to the bechamel sauce to give it a little flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great recipe that made for a yummy dinner! I halved the recipe as it is just my husband and I, and we still had enough left for a second meal. I made two substitutions: I used elbow macaroni instead of rigatoni, and I used fire roasted diced tomatoes in place of the tomato sauce. My husband hates baked tomatoes, but he loved every bite of this dish! Highly recommended comfort food!

I was so excited to make this, but it just didn't work for my family. The white sauce was tasty, but we couldn't taste it in the cooked dish. We thought it was bland and too acidic. I think I might try it again with some spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato sauce. I need to read the reviews and see if I can find any other suggestions to jazz up this meal because I see a lot of potential.

I made this for dinner the other night and the kids loved it! I tweeked the recipe a little bit. I sauteed some mushrooms, onions, olives and garlic and added that to the bowl with the rigatoni. Also added some salt, pepper and parmesan. Delicious, thanks so much for sharing Nancy!! :)

4 stars because it need some modification to avoid being bland.. but over the dish is very good! I use only 2 eggs. I use garlic and I add freshly grated parmigiana cheese to the white sauce. I mix half a jar of tomato/basil pasta sauce in the pasta, then top with the white sauce, more pasta sauce & cheese.. I also add fresh basil from my basil plant. My kids LOVE this more than baked ziti. I serve alongside Chicken Parmesan or Cube Steak Parmesan.. This even won a place on the Christmas table as a side dish. thank you!!

This was surprisingly delicious! I added some oregano, garlic salt and parmesan cheese to the white sauce. Also, spiced up the tomato sauce and skipped the eggs. My family really enjoyed it! I'll definitely make this again.
