Parmesan Penne
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 absolutely love this one in fall. The all spice is perfect!!
This recipe is a keeper! I made it according to the recipe, except I used a large onion instead of medium, and a little extra ground beef. I also used a pasta sauce with lots of herbs instead of tomato sauce. This family hates bland food and found it wasn't bland at all. We all loved it and I will definitely be making this again.

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!

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.
