Easy to make, but some substitutions are needed. I used ground Italian sausage instead of ground beef, a jar of meat sauce instead of tomato sauce, an Italian cheese blend instead of just mozzarella, and basil instead of oregano. I also mixed the sauce mixture and noodles together before putting it in the oven. Doesn't have to cook as long as it says, as all ingredients are already cooked. Also, make sure to drain the grease after cooking the sausage. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-10-21","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Shawna590"},"reviewBody":"I just felt this was very bland.

A little on the boring side, Suggest adding 1\/8 tsp red pepper flakes and 1\/2 to 1 cup frozen peas or corn. Also, if you cook the noodles to al dente, they will be mushy after cooking in the oven.
