My mother was not much of a cook. So I credit my husband for encouraging me to experiment in the kitchen. This is a fantastic all-in-one meal that features both a cream sauce and a meat sauce.Vera Soghomonian, Maple Grove, Minnesota

I should have looked at the reviews before making. The dish was good just lacked something... I probably will make it again but will definitely add some more spices. Thanks!

The dish had no flavor. A lot of work for nothing.

My daughter & I made this with some changes. We used garlic & herb pasta sauce instead of tomato sauce. We left out the allspice. We used 4 cups dry (instead of 6 cups)Smart Taste pasta that has even more fiber & protein, making the entree even healthier. With the reduced amount of pasta, it was not too dry. Then we added a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and mozzerella cheese on the top before baking. This entree tasted a lot like a lasagne without all the work. It turned out delicious and we will definitely make this again. It will be a good dinner to take to a potluck or to a family in need.

The meat sauce had no flavor. Blah! It needs some spices like garlic, oregano and basil. Would have been better with Prego or spaghetti sauce.

I didn't think this dish had any flavor. I would not make it again.

When I made this for a family party, both kids and adults loved it.

Wasn't as saucy as I expected, the white sauce thickened during baking. It still tasted good, just wasn't as good as I had hoped.

Maybe because I'm Italian but, I would be more inclined to use 1/2 hot, 1/2 sweet Italian sausage - ground beef is too American! And, a large can of recipe ready tomatoes - not tomato sauce. Now that we can get whole grain macaroni, I would use that to up the fiber content. Why not add some fresh garlic, too?

This was good. I added parsley to the cream sauce for taste and color. My son said it was like lasagna but better! I may try to sneak in some spinach with the cream sauce next time. Thanks for the recipe!
