This homey lasagna-style casserole from Dorothy Bateman of Carver, Massachusetts will appeal to the whole family. There's plenty of spaghetti sauce to keep the layers of tender pasta and spinach-cheese mixture moist. "It's a hearty main dish that can be made early in the day, refrigerated and baked at dinnertime," Dorothy notes.

I thought this was OK. It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad, either. These ingredients are good...I think it was just missing something.

There was a lot of leftovers if you're just cooking for 2.

It tasted funny and something was missing. I enjoy eating all these ingredients and question if perhaps I should have used the whole box of pasta 16oz instead of 8oz. It just tasted strong.

My husband, myself, and five year old liked this. We added some black beans from a previous recipe that were left over and they were fine with it. Very filling.
