This is easy to do and with ingredients all in hand.Made everything as stated and all my family loved it.These amounts do not serve 12 persons unless they have a small portion ideally it serves 6-8.Thanks for the recipe that will do again for sure.

This was a great hit with my family! Lasagne taste but easier to prepare.It filled my 9 x 13 pan full but I also added another 2/3 jar of spaghetti sauce. I used whole wheat Ziti noodles and it tasted so good my family didn't even notice them being whole wheat! 7 of us ate all but 1 serving but our serving size tends to be 'too big' anyway! This is a keeper in my recipe folder!

This looked pretty easy to do and I had all of the ingredients so that's what I made for dinner last night. There's no way it could serve 12 unless everyone had a small portion. I made the recipe as written and four of us had just over half of it with a salad and garlic bread. So I think it would be safer to say it would serve 6 - 8. Having said all that, we enjoyed the meal and I would probably make it again just because it was so easy.
