My dh loved this recipe--and he didn't even miss the meat. He thought it was a very good choice for vegi night. However,it took longer for prep than I expected--the prep time was closer to 30 minutes for me, but that included time for cooking the spaghetti and broccoli, shredding the cheese and cutting the veggies.

Yum! Yum! I was recommended this recipe by the wife of my husband's boss who said this is the one of the best recipes on Recipezaar! I laughed after I typed in the recipe number and saw Tish's name and knew it had to be a winner :) Although, no one in my immediate family enjoyed this (DH has sworn off spinach since the Ready Set Cook contest that had it for one of the ingredients!!) I loved it and I also gave some to my parents and they loved it too! Thanks for posting this recipe and thanks to L for recommending it!

Total winner here! I did make a few changes. I halved the recipe and was torn as to how much sauce I should use. The can of sauce that I had was 24 oz. I used all 24 ozs rather than only 16 and it worked. I also added oregano and Penzy's Italian sausage seasoning to the crust mixture and would do that again. Lastly, I added thinly sliced mushrooms and onion to the veggie mix and baked it longer than called for. I took it out once it looked like the moisture had been absorbed. DH really liked this and didn't miss the meat one bit. I'm looking forward to making this as a regular rotation in our menu and add even more veggies. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

I asked my family to give it a star rating and they all said 5. One of my girls is vegetarian and I vowed to prepare one meal a week for her. We loved it! Serves at least 6 healthy portions. I followed the recipe only cooking the crust 5 mins longer (i made to much pasta) otherwise its perfect. Thanks Matt!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
