Maybe I did it wrong, but honestly it didn't taste any different from just pasta and meat sauce mixed together. There was no "bake" quality to it. I also added some oregano and basil because I thought it would be a little bland without it. I added extra sauce so perhaps thats why it wasn't as 'crunchy' as a bake would be. I also used small shells instead of rotini, just had them and didn't want to buy more. It was good, but I wouldn't call it a casserole.

I would give it about a 3 1/2 as written (I rounded up)... BUT with a lot of seasoning, and about double the sauce, it is AMAZING!! :] Highly recommended... kids loved it! Great with garlic bread!

The recipe was very good. I added some oregano and parsley and used 32 ounces of spagetti sauce. I also sauteed my onions and some bell pepper with the hamburger meat. Then I layered a layer of pasta and meat/cheese/pasta meat/cheese. My whole family loved it!! I also used angel hair pasta. So it was more like baked spagetti.

This recipe is easy and delicious. My 5 year old and I made it together, we added fresh garlic, onions, and sweet Italian sausage to the hamburger meat. We also mixed in 1/2 the cheese with the pasta before baking and then added the other 1/2 with 10 minutes to go. I put 1/2 of the recipe in a 9" cake pan (which slides perfectly into a gallon sized freezer bag) and froze it for another evening. A fresh salad and some bread and we had a great family meal!

This has turned into a family favorite. I season my meat well (salt, pepper, garlic, italian season) I also had some italian sausage for extra flavor (I use ground turkey and turkey sausage) I really like sauce so I use two jars of pasta sauce. And to make it super yummy I add parm cheese to the mixture before putting it in the pan.

I guess it's about time that I rated this recipe since I've been using it for over a year!! I really love this pasta dish. It's easy to put together and it really stretches a pound of pasta when I have a bunch of hungry kids to feed (who are very happy when they find out we are having this). I did change just a couple of things. I omitted the onion because I'm too lazy to cut up an onion for just the few teaspoons called for in the recipe. I also omitted the salt and pepper because I didn't feel it needed it...I guess it depends on the flavor of which ever sauce you use. I lowered the temp of the oven to 350 degrees because it was sort of dry the first time I made it at 425 degrees. After I drain and rinse the pasta I put it back in the pan that I boiled it in, add the sauce and browned hamburg, then mix the whole thing together. I layer the pasta and cheese in an oblong casserole dish in the following way: 1/3 of the pasta mixture, 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella, another 1/3 of the pasta, followed by 1/3 of the cheese, then the last 1/3 of the pasta. I bake it for 20 min and then add the remaining cheese and return it to the oven for 5 minutes. It comes out almost like a "lazy man's" lasagne....YUMMY!!

Great recipe! I added garlic, italian seasoning, julienne carrots spinach and mushrooms to the meat while it was cooking to make it more nutritious and used Mezzi Rigitoni noodles instead of rotini because my 2 1/2 year old son likes to pick out what kind of noodles we use when I make pasta.

This was so good, definitely comfort food for me! I served with steamed asparagus and slices of french bread brushed with olive oil and herbs done under the broiler. Was a really nice meal!

Quick and easy, my family really enjoyed it! I actually used the Spaghetti Sauce III recipe (didn't have canned sauce) that I tweaked a bit and just mixed it all together with the pasta. Baked it for 20 minutes then mixed in cheese to 1/2 of it (one of my daughters is allergic) and back in the oven for 5 more minutes. Absolutely delicious! The kids loved it! Next time I will make some garlic bread with it.

It's good, but a little bland. Could you some extra ingredients like mushrooms, sausage, and/or pepperoni to give it more flavor

I just made this and wow it is good. I have tired many different Recipes for Pasta Bakes and so far this is the best. I did change a few things. My husband dosen't like onions so I fried them with the hamburger added chopped garlic, some oreagon and parsil, another jar of sauce and mixed a handful of cheese into the mixture before baking. I also only used 2cups cheese.

I used this recipe about a month ago. I omitted the meat and used a 1/2 C onion and 1/2 of chopped bell pepper. I added minced garlic. Three cups of cheese is a bit much. Thanks!
