This was delicious! My whole family loved it. It tasted like a dish you'd find in a nice Italian restaurant.

the first time i tasted this recipe, the words OLIVE GARDEN popped in my head! i have never had a meal that tastes like it was delivered from a high end resturant and served as it was home made!!! this is my familys new favorite recipe. we ate the first casserole until it was gone and had the 2nd one for dinner then next night! i cant believe how easy it is and the reward is a meal you cant stop eating.

My family loved this. I used leftover alfredo sauce from dinner the night before which made this quick and easy to make! I will definitely be making thin one again.

My husband loved it. I cut the recipe in half to try for the first time, so I have not tried it in the freezer. Next time I will make certainly make the full recipe and freeze. For my family of three, I think I will split into 3 casseroles; eat one, and two to freeze.

Yum! I used an envelope packet of pesto instead of the jar & added bacon bits the 2nd time I made it. It's now a family favorite & I love having an extra to use later.

This recipe is easy to throw together and ends up being a time-saver. We ate the first casserole right after I made it and the second one a month later. We thought the frozen casserole was even better than the fresh one!
