Wonderful!!! My family loved it, even my picky daughter. I even added some italian sausage. I also used a pound of pasta too.

Absolutely fabulous!! I loved this as did my husband. I will be making this pasta dish many more times. -
Great dish and popular with the kids too! Tasted fantastic. I did have to increase the pasta to a whole pound since the 8 oz only covers the bottom of the pan, and you were supposed to do 2 layers. -
This was soooo yummy! The whole family loved it, even my tomato hating daughter. I will admit, I did not follow the recipe to a "T". I used a whole pound of penne pasta and used 6 ounces of sliced pepperoni. I also spread some sauce on the bottom of the baking dish before layering. I served this dish with cheesy garlic bread and everyone devoured it. My husband even said that he would rather have this than one of my staple dinners, baked ziti! Thanks Inez...you are keeping meals interesting around here! -
Excellent! SImply excellent! I used a dash on each layer of dried basil instead of the fresh (couldn't get my hands on it) and it came out just wonderful! Great recipe thank you!

I was so glad to have found this recipe since I had almost every ingredient on hand! This was a great end of the week meal. I substituted 1 lb of ground beef for the pepperoni (the one thing I didn't have on hand....) and my husband said he would probably prefer it that way. As for me, I can't wait to try it with the pepperoni or even italian sausage. I also used a 14 oz bag of penne, and I'm glad I did because I think for the size of this dish, it needs that many noodles. Thanks for sharing :)

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
