Description
This hearty spaghetti casserole bakes with meat sauce and a creamy layer of ricotta cheese. If you're a fan of crispy edges, you can bake it in a 9 1/2- or 10-inch-wide Bundt pan instead of the casserole dish, and the whole thing will have those wonderful edges! (Allow the same amount of time for baking, about 40 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.) The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.

It was okay. Too cheesy for me. Not as flavorful like I thought it would be. Maybe if I tweaked it.

It tasted good. I replaced the spaghetti with chickpea-based spaghetti to increase the protein value.

Delicious easy recipe! I did add mushrooms, spicy sausage and sautéed onion to the sauce and did not measure my seasonings, just eyeballed and taste to test which is way better for our particular tastes. Probably should have cut the recipe in half but now I have leftovers to freeze for another night when I need a fast meal.

Very easy to make. I used cottage cheese in the cheese mixture. Use good spaghetti sauce for the best flavor.

it turned out delicious, maybe even a bit too salty, but delicious nonetheless. I opted for gluten-free spaghetti, and it worked perfectly with the recipe.

This dish is so delicious!! Simple to make and very little cleanup. I added an egg and a little heavy cream to my ricotta and it came out perfectly creamy and tasty!

used thinly sliced and diced rib eye in place of ground beef, then added Italian meatballs before last last layer of cheese. mmmm mmm mmmmm!!!!

Excellent! It took a little longer than I had planned to prep but those were issues that I could have prepared better for. It was a HUGE hit with my husband and teenage son! Will definitely make again!

After carefully reading reviews, I tweaked this recipe. The slight variation of this version I made turned out fantastic! First off, I realized I didn't have spaghetti noodles, so I subbed the ziti I had on hand.
I took heed and made half the box instead of 3/4. I also made 46 ounces of sauce with my 1 lb of ground beef. Finally, I heavily seasoned the ricotta mixture (by doubling the measurements) before putting it all together. Adjusting this recipe made it incredible, the perfect complimentary ratios of meat to noodle to sauce and flavor. I followed the assembly exactly as well as cooking time and temperature. This will go in my recipe index as one to remake again and again!

OMG. This is better than restaurants I've been to! Forget eating out, I'm cooking for now on!

It was amazing!!!. I used ground sausage and added basil leaves. I highly recommend.

Made as instructed, but it’s entirely way too much pasta for only 1lb of ground beef. Less pasta (probably 1/2) and 1lb of beef, more sauce needed and added some seasonings to our taste. I will make it again but, modify to meet our family’s taste.

It was good. However, next time I’ll use less noodles and more meat and season it a little more! Needs some tweaking, but overall I would recommend it.
