I used penne, and made the marinara from scratch (just a simple one). I only had dried basil, and omitted 1 of the 3 TBs from conversion in the cheese mixture. Also used cottage cheese which turned out well. The cheese mixture is hard to spread so ended up making very small dollops from a spoon. It might actually be easier if you made the cheese mixture ahead of time, put it between some waxed paper or saran wrap and rolled flat, the refrigerate; cut into small slabs for a thinner layer of the cheese mixture. I think that was my last favorite, was the rich dollops of cheese in the bites. The pasta was slightly gummy and al dente, but.. not? A bit strange. Cooked on high for 2.5 hours. My husband thought it was very good. He has the constitution of a bear. I am unused to eating pasta very often. So between us, he enjoyed it very much, while it was a bit too much richness for me. A success overall since if he’s happy, it’s good.

I had to give this a 5-star rating as my kids asked for seconds! I typically follow recipes as they are written; however, for some reason I did not have sour cream and ended up using regular vanilla yogurt instead. This recipe was quick and easy to make after coming home tired on a Friday from work.

In reply to Paula.

I agree not our favorite either, I even followed some tips others suggested like check after an hr and a half, make more cheese mixture. And it just made so much sauce and some of the noodles throughout were different texture, so I put in oven in a 9 ×13 dish.. just a disaster. Maybe my fault for making changes. (More than likely ) I love almost all of Lauren’s recipes! But won’t be trying this for a while. Traumatized lol. I’m sure it’s some people’s cup of tea.

I doubled the recipe to feed my crew of 10 tonight. Everyone loved it from the 2 year old to the 80 year old. I will be making it again soon but might try adding ground turkey to the red sauce.

Wasn’t my favorite! It was okay, just not the usual 5 stars of TBFS! The consistency was a little off; made recipe exactly as is.
