This recipe is easy, full of flavor, and with ingredients that we always have on hand. Add browned ground beef for a meaty version.

  • Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Pour all into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella, sliced olives and bell pepper.

  • Bake in preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

This recipe was good but it was a little dry. I think it needed a little bit more sauce. Read More

pretty good...there's potential. I used a can of diced tomatoes (minus some of the juice)instead of just tomato juice and put the green pepper into the pasta instead of just on top and used a 4 cheese mix I had on hand instead of the mozzarella. Overall it was good but i think next time I'll used a little less pasta try it with mozzarella use less onion (and i love onion) and add mushrooms into the mix as well. Read More

There wasn't enough sauce- I'd have to double or even triple the recipe amounts. We've been eating leftovers with canned sauce heaped on it. Also the thyme in the recipe gave it a strange taste. Read More

Personally I love this recipe. Occasionally I will put some spicy italian sausage in there just to change it up but its great even without it. Only thing I changed was adding oregano and basil. Its great otherwise! Read More

This was OK but nothing particularly exciting about it. I only used 2/3 the pasta and thought it was still too much so I certainly wouldn't want to use all of it. I may try this again with less pasta and see how that comes out. Read More
