    Taste was very good, it needed more noodles. It was so cheesy. I would of used 1 Ib of noodles instead of 1/2 ib. Or maybe even 1 1/2 ibs.

      I used a 10″ cast iron skillet, but you could easily use a 9×13 pan. No foil needed.

    This looks delicious! Can you recommend a substitute for ricotta? I’m not a fan, nor am I a fan of cottage cheese…

    Do you think this would work well with italian sausage added to the tomato mixture? Kind of like a simpler version of lasagna?
