I like Bright Cellars! Tried it last year👍🏾

[@filterjack]

Where can I find that casserole dish? I've been trying to find a nice sized one like that.

[@darlenecottman4800]

Thank you bot

[@essentiallearning8458]

the folks at boursin truly owe you, i tried it once (it was on sale) after watching one of your videos, now i check the price everytime i go to the store!!! it is truly the bomb

[@teforever5745]

This looks amazing! Your baked ziti recipe is 🔥🔥🔥 so I can imagine that this is just the same. Love your recipes. Keep them coming!

[@ericanelson1461]

Your pasta looks scrumptious Mr. Make It Happen.

[@eddiewilson8119]

Thank you for sharing this recipe and it looks delicious 😋

[@bluedotintx]

Made this today and WOW! I used pappardele noodles because my store didn't have the ones from the recipe. Also didn't have Italian paste so I bought basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Cleaned and separated the leaves then pulsed them in a food processor with olive oil. The freshness of the herbs brightened this dish so much. I think the only thing I'll change, next time I make this, is to try hot Italian sausage. This is a keeper!

[@DosMasTequila]

Just made this dish and I did mix the Boursin with fresh ricotta cheese from the Italian specialty store. I used fennel sausage and mild Italian sausage and pretty much followed you to a tee. This turned out so excellent that I will make this many many times. I also made the chili from your book with AB. That was excellent as well and I am looking forward to trying many more of your recipes ❤

[@VeganonaBudget]

OMG, just stumbled upon this gem! 😍🍝 The pasta bake looks too good to be true! Can't wait to try it out and impress my friends with this budget-friendly deliciousness. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! 🌱💚

[@LauraMarcacci-l5e]

THANKS!! Great recipe!! don’t forget to use Himalayan pink salt or Celtic salt! The rest of the garbage. ❤️🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. 😋😋😋🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Yup. This is the one. This is the recipe im going with for Thanksgiving. Looks amazing and i cant wait to make it for my family!

Oh, man -- that looks so cheesy and delicious!

Why be mean in the comments. Watching is an choice(optional) so dont complain or criticize the chef your choosing to watch!!!! Be respectful!!

[@KWicksable]

I most certainly intend to try this with one substitution, I don’t eat pork. I do love a good pasta bake and this one appears to be exceptionally delicious 😋 😋😋

[@stacistewart815]

Turkey Italian Sausage is a very good substitute 👍🏽

[@deisyperez6611]

I’ve said this before I just love your channel and recipes ❤

[@robinshellie6989]

Thanks for this recipe Matt. Same format as baked ziti of which I absolutely LOVE!! My family keep asking me to make it. I have to try this one next, I see it just as delicious as the ziti. You are awesome Chef Matt! 😋😋😋😋❤️❤️

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

Italian food intimidates me ...yuh hummmmy 😍

[@phillyguy8541]

I'm 100% Italian but like you I was never a fan of ricotta which is why if I had to choose, I'd take a nice bowl of rigatoni with meat ragu over lasagna, ravioli, manicotti, etc. In fact when I was a kid whenever my mother would make any of those dishes, she would always have a bowl of spaghetti or rigatoni separate for me. The point is, I think your idea of substituting boars head and sour cream is great and I intend to try it the next time i have pasta. Thanks.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

nice! Enjoy!! Boursin cheese is a game changer

[@phillyguy8541]

@@MrMakeItHappen Boursin... I knew that I had a senior moment when I typed boars head🙃

[@shanetwogood7893]

We always use cottage cheese in place of ricotta

[@auntnayblessed6603]

@@phillyguy8541 😆. I feel your pain😍

[@kayla_theysaid]

I agree, not a fan at all of ricotta 🤢

[@cherryjohnson6632]

I love ricotta cheese but I tried the sour cream and cheese mixture on another one of your recipes and I feel in love. Been using it ever since ❤

[@TheSpecialkap]

OMG! That dish looks aaahhhmazing! You always make the best dishes look easy. Thank you for sharing that dish. I will definitely be making this delicious dish, thanks to you!

[@IvyMaeInReno]

Those noodles MAKE the dish. I can't wait to get some of those and make this for my enormous extended family for Sunday dinner. And that ricotta substitute looks gangster.

[@ShanikaMac]

I love sugar in my pasta sauce! Definitely making this one for my husband for dinner! Thank you Chef! ❤ Edit: I couldn't find mafaldine pasta in my city at Whole Foods nor any of the local stores. I'm shocked because Im in one of the largest cities in the country.

[@mrwhitfan34]

I got mine from Amazon

[@organixgirl]

Yeah I couldn’t find them either in Publix Florida, I read a comment someone said they used rotini so that’s what I bought I really wanted those noodles though 😢

[@michellebaeza4618]

I could not find the herb paste, so I made it. I also could not find the mafaldine pasta at any local stores in my town, so I ordered it from Amazon as well. Also, first time I made it I used the sour cream, my husband did not like that so the next time I used mascarpone and he like loved it.

[@debbiereilly900]

Mmmm looks amazing yummy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Catylino22]

Made it and love it! I left out the red pepper flakes, so my toddler could eat it. He still refused but I'll try again today! If there's any left from the rest of us eating it! 😂 Also, I couldn't find that fancy pasta, so I used squiggly cellantani pasta.

[@cloverraven]

When you let the sauce sit for 30-40 minutes what heat should it be on.

[@stephaniegrier5243]

Hi, YOU ARE LITERALLY MAKING MY RECIPE. EXCEPT THE. WINE👀

[@ThePapagonza]

The wife has some gluten & dairy allergies but, I've used dairy free cheeses and sour cream to make my own cheese mix with herbs & spices as well. Also, gluten free pasta. Being part Sicilian, it's a little tuff but, you do what you gotta do bro. The sugar in the sauce is a most to cut a little acidity from the tomatoes. It's in all my sauce recipes. Lasagna & Ziti are both favorites in my family and you killed it! Respect!

[@vanessamagee6497]

Your trio of seasonings is ABSOLUTELY the best I've ever tasted. The spices are perfectly balanced and more importantly, it's not overly salty. I love them and will buy as long as you make them!!!

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Wow, they’re that good! I’ve been considering getting the three once I move next month. I’ve been thinking about making my own spice mixes also, just to cook with, not to sell. 🥘♥️

[@catherineharris27]

I gotta give this pasta bake a try 😋!! ❤❤❤❤

[@beckyriley2674]

I'm not a fan of Ricotta either, it's Bland and has an after taste I can't describe.

[@christeenprice5637]

Looks absolutely delicious Matt,thanks ❤️👍❤️👍❤️

[@avacadman2155]

Packed full of flavours! You never said it was “Authentic” so…I too put my own twists when cooking. The end result is the main thing! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MrMakeItHappen]

absolutely

[@debbieanne860]

I’ve watched this so many times I practically have it memorized! LOL. I’m finally going to fix it for dinner tomorrow night and I’m so excited! I love your channel and really appreciate all the time you put in preparing everything for your viewers! Thank you, thank you!

[@m.a.3690]

How was it? Did you like the recipe?

[@kathymilesdesign]

Wow. This was delicious! Waited 2+ weeks for the pasta to arrive from Italy, via London, via Amazon. I didn't find this particular pasta worth the wait, or the cost, and will substitute lasagna noodles next time. And there WILL be a next time! Thank you!!

[@beckyriley2674]

This looks so good! I use to make Pasta bakes when the kids were growing up. Easy dinner.

[@anitaronquillo1410]

That looks delish! Like the way you mix everything together. I do that too. All pasta is sauced. Like that, we're here for a good time, not a long one.

[@jenjoy3215]

Grew up in Italian neighborhood and love the food. I also make my own ricotta but also love delicious and versatile Boursin cheese spread. Great substitute idea. Costco sells a 3 pack and puts it on sale some months. But of the 3 only one is your variety. I like it the best.

[@melissaporter885]

I'm definitely going to try this with the boursin cheese. I also add a little sugar to my sauce to help balance out the acid. Looking good!

[@michellebaeza4618]

I use brown sugar.

[@melissamcfadden9578]

I just made this baked spaghetti for dinner for my dad and I and we loved it. Thank you so much.

[@organixgirl]

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I NEVER NEVER MADE my own pasta sauce because it always scared me. I made this recipe not realizing I just made my own sauce and OMG amazing It’s def going to be my go to sauce thank you ❤❤ the dish came out great

[@grandiva035]

CHEF MATT! YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Everything about this recipe is perfect 🥰 💞 😋. You are gifted and anointed in the kitchen, my guy! Keep the inspiration going! One of my favorite KZbin chefs ever! The only one I've ever purchased seasonings and products from ❤

[@marieperez3796]

Love the simplicity if your cooking and I can relate. Always turn out great and make cooking enjoyable. 🙌🙌👍.

[@MessiahTheeGod]

On the menu TONIGHT! couldn't find malfadine in my city. So substituting with German egg noodles...ordered some malfadine from Amazon though!

[@lovemary6555]

I just made this and it was seriously 🔥🔥🔥!!! Everyone in the house loved it! I didn't go get the malfaldine noodles and used rotini instead. That cheese mixture was amazing! I bet that would be good stuffed or topped on chicken! Thanks for another great recipe! 😊

[@timlucky1]

Can this be frozen?

[@pcb462]

For the white sauce, you can also substitute cottage cheese, pecorino Romano and heavy cream. It’s fantastic and takes it to a whole new level.

[@dianereeves8632]

Thank you for this recipe, it’s incredibly delicious and so much easier than regular lasagna noodles. Loved everything, the tomato sauce, cheese sauce and the pasta!

[@keechaskyers5862]

Mr. Make it Happen, you did it again, this casserole looks so darn delicious yum yum , gimme some 😋

[@capkronos00]

This is similar to your baked spaghetti recipe which I've made 3 times. It's great so I have no doubt this is, too.

[@SimplySammyK]

it'd be nice if Americans return the favour by giving other country names to things like they EXPECT us to do... is tomato paste tomato pure?

Sugar and a little milk is what my Italian Dad used in his homemade sauce too. It cut the tang from the tomato paste he used. No worries from me.

[@garyweightman5936]

Get a meat chopper. They will add to your presentation (even though you are at A+ already).

[@liubahossain8109]

Bit concerned with the salt intake in this. The sausage meat is salted, then a healthy fist of salt, then all purpose has salt in it and of course cheese which is salted too 😮

[@KL-er7yi]

I do this cheese mixture too but with cottage cheese, whizzed smooth, in place of the sour cream.

[@annzak4905]

Oh, we are definitely going to give this a try ❤

[@bradpeck1901]

i like ricotta but i di the cheese your way and is was delicious, i will probably stick to it.
