Pasta dishes are a favorite in our family. I changed the original recipe to suit our tastes...and we all think this comforting casserole is delicious. I like to accompany it with a tossed green salad. —Ruth Lee of Troy, Ontario

Not bad. I don't know what Italian-blend veggies are, but I had plenty of fresh veggies on hand, so I used them rather than buy frozen ones. It's pretty good, but it needs to have a more substantial & thicker sauce. I plan to add another can of condensed soup next time, but it probably will make it less healthy.

This was pretty simple to put together and tasted good. It took me awhile to make it because I couldn't find Italian blend vegetables. After a little bit of research, I discovered they are now marketed under Mediterranean blend.
