5 Stars for how easy it to make, 3 stars for taste, mine was a bit bland, but , I didn't have sausage so used chopped meat, which could have been the cause. I will try it again w/sausage. I used gemelli noodles, which worked great. If you are short on time, it is a great recipe to use!
1/24/2012 04:16:46 PM Report AbuseI have this recipe using penne noodles and oven baked but this sounds even easier! Over the noodle/sausage tomato sauce base I layer riccoto/egg,another layer of noodle/ sausage tomato topped with mozzarella. When served with a crisp salad and garlic bread, nothing can beat it for a tasty meal.
10/31/2011 10:48:09 AM Report Abuse"Mini lasagna noodles" are Mafalda. Cremeattes makes them. You can find them in the pasta section of the grocery store. Here is a short description: Noodles are approximately ½ to ¾ inch in width and has rippled edges on both sides. This pasta is found both in short lengths of about 1 ¼ inches and long lengths of 10 inches or more. It is also referred to as malfade pasta.

10/27/2010 12:33:52 PM Report AbuseI liked it a lot for an easy week night dish. I made a few changes like adding half ground turkey and half sausage and using penne pasta instead of mini lasagna noodles. Will definitely make again!
