  2. Mix together the cheeses, egg, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Spoon a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
  4. Layer pasta, spaghetti sauce, then the cheese mix. Repeat. (so in the pan you have a little sauce, then pasta, sauce, cheese, pasta, sauce, cheese)
  5. Top with some shredded mozzarella cheese. (optional)
  6. Bake for about 15-20 mins, until nice & bubbly and golden brown on top.

Personal Review: Speed and toddler friendly. Those are the two requirements I have now when searching for new recipes. This one fulfills both of those needs.

It’s very flavorful and easy to throw together.

Definitely something that makes a great weeknight meal, pair it with a veggie and salad and you’ve got a great full meal that your whole family will enjoy.
