Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 400°F for 35 min. or until heated through.

Freeze Ahead

Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze. When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.

Very good and easy to make. I added beef, chopped onions and seasons to the sauce. My kids love it and even my husband who isn't big on pasta dishes ate it!

Sooo good. My family loved these. I used ricotta cheese instead of the cottage cheese and added an egg. Loved the spinach with it!

This was dish was amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and it was definitely delicious! I may try ricotta cheese next time, but the cottage cheese worked very well also.

This was a great meal! I browned extra lean ground beef with some diced carrots and bell pepper and used a vegetable spaghetti sauce to that but other then that I followed the recipe. I think the spinach is a good amount but we really like spinach! Husband and kids loved it, we all agreed to make this a regular!
