Both kids and adults like this one. You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already...and if you don't have cream, use 2 cups of milk. A great dish to freeze and serve at a later time. If you like a spicier tomato sauce, feel free to add your own Italian spices: garlic, basil, oregano, green pepper, etc ...

Although I enjoyed this recipe my family had mixed reviews. My husband said it was good but not something he would want on a regular basis. My kids 4 and 7 had a problem with the fact that it was pink. My 7 year old said that it actually tasted pretty good anyway. I added italian seasoning and garlic to the tomatoes while they were simmering for more flavor. Read More

This didn't work out well for me at all. There wasn't enough sauce for 1 lb. of spaghetti even though I added tomato juice before pouring it in. (NB: I also added oregano and basil to the tomato sauce and nutmeg to the white sauce so they smelled and tasted good.) The spaghetti though slightly undercooked still got mushy in a 335 degree oven for 25 mins. (lower and less than the recipe called for). I like the layered idea and may try it again but I'll use a thicker pasta (e.g. mostaccioli or penne) and make more of both sauces. Read More

I found that the following was needed to make it excellent. Bulb of garlick sliced 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese to the sauce 8 slices of bacon fresh mushrooms in lieu of tined ones. Then it would get 5 stars. Read More

Just the simple recipe I was looking for. I was running low on groceries & had to feed my family of 5. Didn't have mushrooms or olives but I added garlic and Italian spices. I even threw in a mozzarella cheese stick I pulled apart. Everyone loved it even my picky eater! Read More
