This was pretty tasty ... tasted more like lasagna then pizza but still tasted good. I used brown rice and longhorn cheese but other then that followed the recipe. It was good the second day for lunch as well. Thanks -
This was really good and my whole family really liked it. I already had a spaghetti sauce made, with veggie crumbles instead of meat. And I used brown rice instead of white. But it was really tasty and a nice change from another baked pasta dish. -
You'll laugh when I tell you how I adapted this recipe to what I had on hand..... Instead of cottage cheese, I used mashed great northern beans. I also used wild rice, and omitted the garlic powder. I had fresh herbs in my garden; tarragon, Greek oregano, and basil and used those. I also added a bit of mexican cheeses (chipotle included) and made this more of a mexican casserole! It turned out great! We ate it over baked potatoes on day two! Nothing like TONS OF CARBS at my house! -
