The instructions were a bit confusing. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to cook the pasta before or after I added it to the casserole dish.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning, and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted tomatoes. I always have a few containers of them in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
