This meal was adapted from America’s Test Kitchen. It’s one of my favorite easy, one-pot pasta dishes. I’ve made it so many times, I never refer to the recipe anymore.
You can change up the flavor and/or texture by altering the kind of sauce and pasta you use. And you can reduce the amount of fat calories by substituting ground turkey for the hamburger; unless you live and die by beef, the difference is hardly noticeable.

This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. My boys love it! So yummy! Just made it again tonight. Thanks so much.
Aaaah Shawn, that’s awesome! Thanks for hopping over to let me know. I love it :D
This was fantastic–very easy and delicious, and reheats great! I accidentally put in a little more than a 1/2 cup of mozz cheese but it still turned out awesome. I didn’t have pasta sauce on hand so I just put in a 29 oz. can of tomato sauce, sprinkled with some basil and 2 tblsp. of italian seasoning and it was done! Gotta love the one-pot meals. Thanks for sharing Amy!!
I made this and it was incredibly easy and good. I couldn’t find the mini lasagna noodles, so I used fusilli instead and just adjusted the cooking time accordingly.
