     Overall very easy and fast weeknight supper! Next time I would add some mushrooms, olives, onions, etc. to give it more variety and flavor. - 3/20/11

     Oh my word, this was just YUM!! Used turkey pepperoni, ground turkey, whole wheat rotini with Prego meat spaghetti sauce. Recipie divides nicely into 6 portions. 8 is a bit small without some kind of side dish. - 4/15/09

     I double the recipe and put into two 9x13 pans and instead of baking, I freeze them for later. To serve: I take out of the freezer the night before to thaw in the refridgerator. Then bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until heated through! - 7/29/09

     This is my second time making this. To bring down the calorie count for me, I put some of the dish in a 8x8 baking dish and the rest in a 9x13 dish. The 8x8 dish is mine as it only has a small portion of the ingredients: 1 cup cheese, 30g pepperoni, 4-8 ozs of meat and only some of the pasta. - 1/28/12

     Very easy to make! Made some substitutions with ingredients that I typically use (ground turkey, fat free cheese, turkey pepperoni, etc.) and got it down to about 205 calories / 4.5 fat per serving (12 servings in total). It was delicious, thank you for the wonderful idea! - 8/24/10

     This was quite tasty, but not so healthy. I think that there are number of ways to slim it down. - 3/31/09

    You can certainly change the ingredients to suit your diet. This is the way I make it at home, so that is how it's calculated.
