DH & I really liked this. I sauteed the onion & garlic (along with some sliced mushrooms) in a bit of olive oil while the pasta was cooking. I also halved the mozzarella. I love cheese, but 1.5 cups of it plus the parmesan & ricotta was plenty. When I tossed the pasta with the sauce, I thought it looked too saucey, but once it baked up, the sauce-noodle ratio was perfect. The leftovers also reheated really well.

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple.
I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
