Pasta Masquerade

This recipe was very good and very easy. I cut the ingredients in half and it fit my pan and fed the 3 of us with some leftover. Would definitely make it again.

I have made this recipe a few times and my family loves it! I usually add bacon pieces with a bit of the leftover grease for a richer flavor.

This is a good way to use hamburger and very tasty especially for how healthy it is. It did take a while to shred all the zucchini and carrots, though.

This recipe was very good, better than I expected. The flavor cooked into the noodles and gave it a very full, well-rounded flavor. Like the other reviews stated, the portion is very large and I had to move it to a larger pan after adding all the ingredients.

I cooked the veggies in some of the meat fat to soften them up that made the meal very tasty and I added extra herb's. This meal was much better then I thought it was going to be. I will make this recipe a few times a year I am sure.

To be this was spaghetti with just a few extra things in it. It does hide the veggies that some kids won't eat, but the spaghetti sauce that I use has the same things in it.

Great way to "sneak" veggies to the kids -- and I used 100% whole wheat rotini pasta. It was very filling and wonderful!

Started out making this in a large skillet, but had to transfer it into a Dutch oven, it makes so much. I found that 6 servings was 2 cups each, rather than 1 cup. Instead of 26 oz. spaghetti sauce, I added 1 can diced Italian tomatoes, 6 oz. salsa and 5 oz. Italian Herb spaghetti sauce. Turned out great!
