This casserole dish is more like a hot pasta salad and will not hold its shape when served like lasagna. Great recipe for the Dutch oven. My family went back for seconds.
Enjoy! Debbie

make that two questions...

Tomato sauce.. is that Tomato paste (thick) or a tomato sauce like ketchup (thin)?

Wouldn't it be easier if all our countries would just standardise stuff so the cooks could understand recipes!! lol

Debbie every time I look at one of your recipes / pics with my oldest in the room, he recognizes the blue plate, says "ooo is that the bacon cheeseburger meatloaf lady? you should make that one too, she makes good stuff!"
So on his way out the door to the bus he voted for Baked Taco Pasta tonight. guess i cant argue!
 
That's so sweet. Tell your son Hi for me and thank him for me. What a sweetheart. Boy, now the pressure is on. I hope he likes this meal. Thanks for making my day. Debbie

Son loved it, as usual. 4 yo son wouldn't eat, but don't take offense to him, he doesn't eat anything but potato pancakes or hot dogs. My 2 yr old helped me put it together. Fun evening! Thanks again!
