I was going to post this recipe but I see you have already.Glad you are sharing this.It is also a nice dish for those that are gluten-free.


This sounds good. I have a "long squash" which acts a lot like zucchini. This will be perfect! thank you! 55555


The tomato sauce recipe within this dish is sublime. I intend to write it up separately so I can find it quickly. This will save $$$ when I no longer keep jars of premade marinara at the grocery store!!

The simplicity of the additions creates an absolutely delish sauce!!! thank you thank you thank you!!

Oh, one more thing: another way to do faux pasta is with cabbage. I rough cut cabbage and layered it in a casserole with noodles. The mouth-feel of cooked cabbage is very "pasta-ish".

For those who want a vegan version, in place of the turkey and cheese, try a pesto sauce. I use walnuts, olive oil and basil in a food processor. Yum!
