This was a great recipe! I used a different type of pasta than the one called for, and it still turned out great. The filling was so flavorful and cheesy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this dish for my family last night and they loved it! The only change I made was to use ground beef instead of sausage, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
