Can I give it more than 5 stars? This was absolutely wonderful....and easy! My husband requested it again for dinner the next night!! Thank you.

this dish is very good. i made a few changes, added zucchini and 1 red bell pepper to roasted veggies, italian sausage and italian seasonings to sauce, didn't use red pepper flakes or fennel seeds, added ricotta cheese to layers and accidentally got monteray jack instead of mozzeralla cheese, picked up whole wheat penne pasta b/c store didn't have ziti. will definatly make again.

It was a bit laborious to make; ran out of sauce before both casserole dishes were layered with all the ingreds. Had to add some store bought sauce to keep the dish moist, I would also recommed a smaller size pasta, the regular ziti was too big for the layering. This would work also in a large lasagna pan layered as recipe suggests. I substituted basil for the thyme, didn't have any, and added extra pepper flakes and some chilli powder to make the sauce have a bit more zing. I also recommend prepping this dish a day earlier, this gave time for all the flavors to mesh well, tasted great!!! I did make the dish in one big lasagna pan, prepped it a day early, and it worked out really well.

Good - I like the variety of healthy veggies. Takes a good bit of time though.
