ReplyDeleteCan a meat sauce work for this or does it have to be meatless?
ReplyDeleteLauraJ - you can use a meat sauce if you would like. I think it would taste great!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love pasta and could eat it every day.
ReplyDeleteYUM! Makes me want to make it again. So glad you tried it...and thanks for the shout-out!
ReplyDeleteSteph,
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering ... (I know, dangerous)
When I make lasagna, I don't boil the noodles first; I just layer them in raw and bake after about 30 minutes. They come out perfect! Reckon I could do the same with fresh tortellini and wait about 15 minutes before baking? What do you think?
deede - I thought about that when I made this. I make a no-boil penne pasta that is delicious. If you try it, I would add a touch more liquid to the sauce, so the pasta has something to cook in.
