Made this two day ago. It is delicious! Even better the second day! A great smaller version of lasagna. It was easy and tasty a perfect combination.

Quick and easy to make especially mixing the meat sauce and pasta. I don't use the parmesan cheese. I add a little extra marjoram. I add garlic in the meat sauce.

As a lower in fat dish, this was very good. I tweaked it a bit. I added a clove of garlic with the onion, a tsp of dried basil, 1/4 tsp pepper flakes to the sauce. I used 2% cottage cheese, that's what I had on hand. As suggested I also added the pasta to the sauce to save a step.

Great recipe! This was like lasagna, but the noodles were easier to work with.

We agree with all the other 5-star reviews...this recipe is terrific. Combining pasta and sauce saved time assembling. Fresh summer basil (like in the picture) would have been a nice touch to top it off.

An awesome recipe! Made it for my Weight Watchers diet and it is delicious - only 9 points. Add green beans or a salad to round out the meal.

Every time I make this it gets better. I'm not sure how, but my husband always says, "make it again."

I have made this several times. Something I always do is double everything but the cottage cheese and mozzerella cheese. Always turns out wonderful and plenty cheesy for my family. I figure I might as well cook the whole pound of meat and the whole box of noodles, then we have leftovers!

Excellent!! I used Turkey Italian Sausage and some Turkey Pepperoni.

I imagine the homemade sauce described is great, but for time restraints, I actually used a jar of Classico Tomato and Basil sauce. I also combined 1 cup cottage cheese with 2 cups shredded 6-cheese Italian blend (which has Mozzarella & Parmesan in it) I also combined the sauce, meat-onion, and pasta all together before layering it with the cheeses above. Served it with garlic bread and a green salad - it was delicious and not too heavy!

Always a big hit at my house! I double the recipe and it all still gets eaten.

I often use this casserole when I need to take dinner to someone. It is always good to find something that is healthy for you. I will often freeze casserole so I can take it out when I do not feed like cooking. Great recipe!

Oops. The review I just posted wasn't for this recipe and I'm not sure how to erase it. Ignore my babbling about Thanksgiving turkey!
We enjoyed this recipe, although we found it a bit bland. I added cumin, red pepper flakes and coriander to give it a bit more life. All in all, it was a great way to use my leftover Thanksgiving turkey.Thanks for the recipe!

I think that next time I will mix the sauce and pasta together before layering.

Quick and easy.like the dditions suggested for a variation I use majorum in fish chowder along with sweet basil so is always on hand that way.

Very good recipe. I omitted the salt but never even missed.

This was very good. Like another reviewer, I omitted the marjoram since I don't keep it on hand. Instead, I added the Parmesan cheese to the cottage cheese, since fat-free cottage cheese doesn't have much flavor. More tweaks: turkey pepperoni, which I halved and sauteed along with the ground turkey (I used app. 16 slices,halved); garlic added to the meat sauce; basil added to the meat sauce. Using Italian turkey sausage instead of plain ground turkey would also be good. Good recipe--I'll make it again. Weight Watcher pointsplus friendly!

Delicious!! However, I use a jar sauce (Classico Tomato & Basil), instead of the sauce ingredients. Also, I never have marjoram on hand, so I've never used it. My husband and I both love it, and friends for whom I've made it also loved it.
