I always make the dishes as written than post. It is not fair to give a poor rating if you have not followed the recipes.Give them a chance. Make your changes after you have tried the one posted. If they don't seem tasty, move on to something else. There are many more to choose from.

If you cook the pasta to desired doneness first, then bake it for an hour, doesn't it get mushy?

I added garlic to bring it some flavor I also used turkey meat. next time I will use the italian sausage turkey meat, change the cheddar to ricotta, and add mozzerella and it will taste like an easy lasagna

As much fat as regular ground beef has, I don't see the need for 1 tbl. of vegetable oil.
