M family loved this recipe! I added black olives and green pepper. This recipe could be made healthier by simply adjusting the ingredients (wheat pasta, ground turkey, low fat cheese etc.). The bad rating based on the saturated fat content is wrong. Plus Heidimotsch doesn't mention this is a recipe for 2 meals!<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"04\/10\/2013 22:23","GUID":"2737cfc5f4a94495b765831cffa8dc71","MemberId":7220638,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"HeidiX0X0","SubmittedDate":"04\/10\/2013 22:23"},{"Comment":"

This is a good example of why so many Americans are overweight - 2 pounds of ground beef, 4 1\/2 cups of cheese AND a whole package of pepperoni? I could have poured the grease of the top there was so much. It would be pretty good if lightened up, but as is, too unhealthy and full of saturated fat.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"01\/27\/2012 16:16","GUID":"f64f82dc20e741bf882f77f15d359706","MemberId":6151061,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"heidimotsch","SubmittedDate":"01\/27\/2012 16:16"},{"Comment":"

I decided to try this because my 2 yr old daughter is crazy about pepperoni right now so I thought it might get her interest. We really enjoyed it, it's like a simple lasagna more than pizza. The best part is I cooked the whole amount of sauce but only half of the noodles. I'm freezing the other half of the sauce and will have a quick meal on hand for later!<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"05\/22\/2010 07:54","GUID":"7f4ed7013adf4ef9911aca5887fd656f","MemberId":4712479,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"shastar","SubmittedDate":"05\/22\/2010 07:54"},{"Comment":"

This recipe was dry. I cut up and mixed pepperoni in w\/everything else. My husband tho't it was tasteless. I wouldn't make it again but I did salvage it by putting it in the slow cooker and making soup from it. Added tomatoes, ripe olives and veggies, and that was tasty.
