I'll be honest. I'm not a fan of casseroles and red sauce sometimes does a number on me. But this had both and I loved it... the noodle bake was a big hit tonight with my family and our guests. Actually, I couldn't believe how much was pounded. It was very {very} well loved.
The cream cheese middle was my favorite, obviously....
