We love spinach and cheese stuffed shells with red sauce.
That is a hard one but I guess I’ll have to say lasagna with homemade noodles and a bolognese sauce which includes beef and sausage.
baked ziti with spicy italian sausage and some chunky marinara sauce is always a hit in my house, …but every now and then, i’m always craving something with a nice vodka sauce!
Oh dear…I use pasta sauce for everything, but our top favorites are a deep dish pizza and a cheese-loaded baked spaghetti dish.
YUM! This looks great!

Spaghetti Pie! Cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, ground beef, angel hair pasta, pasta sauce and cheddar cheese. MMMMM.
I like nice and simple – so I would use mine for a classic marinara dish with a yummy homemade french bread. YUM – my family would vote for classic lasagna.
