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 tried this recipe last night, and it was so good.We invited friends over, and told them I was trying it for the first time. They said this was definately " a keeper". It can be made early in the day, and refrigerated, and baked before serving. I also cooked Italian sausage, sliced it in 1/2 slices, and layered it between the 2 layers of pasta. So easy, and so delicious! I used penne, because I couldn't find mostaccioli anywhere.

This was very easy and very good. I didnt put in the spinach, only because i didnt have any on hand, but i added some browned hamburger meat to the pasta and spaghetti sauce to make it more of a full meal.. Yumm!

OOPS.... Typo - I meant (2) Teaspoons of the dry Taco seasoning (Not 2 tablespoons). Taste & then add more if necessary....

I finally made this....very good. I also steamed & used fresh spinach (be sure & squeeze out the water from cooked spinach). I also added a doze of dried oregano & dried Italian seasoning. But I also added 2 tablespoons of dry Taco Seasoning (get the big jar at Costco & use it a lot to add a little kick to many dishes that would otherwise be too bland - works great). I didn't have Mostaccioli pasta - so I just used Rigatoni... think Penne pasta would also work good.

Yummy - I just love this. My recipe does not call for the egg, egg white, cottage cheese & parsley - but it is still very good. Next time I make it I will have to add the additional ingredients.

In response to BLACK LADY - I also couldn't find the printed recipe for the Creamy Lemon Blueberry Dessert. However, if you play the video, you will notice that at the bottom of the video (while it is playing), the ingred. & their amounts are given in writing. So, you can copy down the ingred. as they are given. Bit of a pain - bec. you have to keep stopping the video & backing it up... bec. the video moves faster than you can write. But this is a way I found to actually get the exact info re. amounts, etc. Hope this helps!

This recipe sounds good and I may give it a chance, but I have been trying to get Creamy Lemon Blueberry Dessert to print off and all I can get is a video. Help!!!

I steamed fresh spinach and added instead of frozen. I also added some miscellaneous italian spices, because as written it sounded as if it would be kind of dull. It was very good.
