I cannot thank you enough for this recipe, and to Parsley for the wonderful stovetop method! It was so simple, flavorful & my husband absolutely loved it. I used whole wheat elbow macaroni, no peppers or mushrooms, lean ground turkey & low fat cheese. For the "toppings," I used turkey pepperoni & tons of olives-but the options are endless. I cook vegetarian for myself now & my husband has missed lasagna-like meat dishes. This saved the day & I am sure I will make this for him again & again. Thanks again!!

Easy, yummy and only 1 pan to clean! I made this in a skillet on the stovetop instead of the microwave. It was just as easy and quick. After the meat was browned and drained, I added everything else (except the cheese), brought it to a boil, covered and simmered it for 10 minutes and topped with the cheese. My noodles were small shell macaroni.... they hold the sauce nicely. This is a keeper. Thanx for sharing!
