Just put this in the oven for after the fast. That was so quick and clean! If it comes out good then this will def. be a keeper Smile

I added a container of cottage cheese, a pack of mozzarella and some cheddar.

I hope it wasnt too much cheese.

There's no such thing as too much cheese.

Has anyone ever done 2 boxes in one pan? how much liquid did you use?

I often do two boxes, but in two separate pans. You'd have to have a pretty big pan not to overflow it in one.

By the way, I often make this before I go to work, leave it in the oven, and set the timer on the oven so that it's ready when we come home. I also love this recipe because my kids can make it.

While we are on the topic, does anyone else have more of these "no brainer" type recipes, which require very little prep, few ingredients, and can easily memorized and prepared by a pre-teen? I especially love stuff you can prepare in advance and cook on a timer, because I'm out at work. Of course there's also the crockpot, which I do sometimes as well, but we tend not to eat much fleishigs, and most crockpot recipes I find seem to be fleshig.

Ok, I'm really confused as to how much noodles this recipe calls for?

A few people suggested 16 oz, but the recipe that Ra_mom posted (almost identical) calls for 8 oz. Which one is it? So many people on this thread have made it and are happy with it, so I am assuming that at least one person can tell me whether they used 1 or 2 pounds of pasta (it makes a difference!).

Thanks! Smile

Last time I made this the top was crunchy. I will probably stir it half way through next time. The bottom noodles came out great and overall we enjoy it.

What was the amount of noodles that you used though?

One 16 oz package of whole wheat.

I (actually my 5-1/2year old daughter) use one 16oz box of pasta and it works perfectly. You need to cover it very tightly so the top steams & doesn't get crispy.

Ok, so this is very interesting...

I just saw the last 2 responses now and I already used an 8 oz bag (that is the standard size in my area) and it was perfect. I actually thought that it would be better with slightly MORE liquid/creaminess since this amount absorbed ALL the liquid and it wasn't as creamy as many posters experienced.

shopmiami did you use real marinara sauce? Or did you make a sauce with tomato paste?
I made it with a 500 gram bag of pasta (16 oz), and with a tomato paste sauce, and it totally absorbed everything and wasn't creamy. I thought it was cuz the sauce I made wasn't as liquidy as marina sauce. We still liked it though.

ETA: oh whoops. I just saw that you said you used marinara sauce. Are you sure the bag was 8 oz though? The only size I've seen here is 500 grams which is half a kilo which is a pound, or 16 oz.

Good ole Google...sigh... LOL

Yesterday it told me that 8 oz. of pasta was 454 g. Today it told me that 8 oz. is 220 g. Oh how I wish I knew my math better lol!!!!

I used 16 oz of pasta apparently...

Right, 8 ounces is half a pound, 16 ounces is a pound....when you asked if people use 1 or 2 pounds, I figured your math was off Smile

BTW, I've done this successfully with brown rice pasta....or at least my son said as much. I didn't taste it to know for sure if it was too mushy or whatever.

I sometimes just double the milk and no water- comes out creamier.

HY- I agree about the brown rice pasta. This way of cooking it is actually the most "real pasta" tasting, IMHO. It tastes creamy as apposed to mushy, which tends to happen when cooking regularly.
