  1. Love a good pasta casserole and this one is a little different. Deliciously cheesy and the broccoli surprisingly doesn't seem out of place.
     
  2. I have not tried this yet, but I know I would never add marinara to this - I think it would be delicious without it.
     
  3. This had a delicious flavor, just the perfect amount of ricotta and the broccoli was wonderful in it. I do feel like both the pasta and broccoli were a bit overcooked. I think next time I would leave very al dente before baking.
     
  4. In school I was always told that I didn't follow instructions well so I thought that I would continue with that pattern and use rotini instead of penne! My grocery store was out of fresh basil so I replaced it with 1 tablespoon of dried basil and used basil/tomato marinara sauce. We all really enjoyed this dish and it was very quick and easy to make. Delish!!! Made for Went to the Market tag. Thanks lazyme!! :)
     
  5. Great nice quick side dish. Nothing bad here. Loved the combo of cheeses, and the broccoli with this was even better. Lovely pasta dish. I did use regular mozzarella cheese though. Made for Football Pool.
