  easy `cheaty' recipe that tastes as if you have spent a long time making it. Pine nuts make it . I would give it 5 stars as an easy late supper.

  Really easy to make - just mix it up and put in the oven and your partner will think you have made an effort after work.

  used ham & cheese tortellini, sauce from a jar, added some tuna and courgettes, didn't use pine-nuts, added mozzarella as directed - yummers! never thought of using tortellini in a pasta bake before :)

  Very quick and easy but a bit disappointed when lifting the mozzarella up with the fork that it didn't spell 'pizza hut' but very scrummy anyway

  Great recipe, forgot to buy mozzarella so made a quick cheese sauce which worked just as well, all the family loved it and it tasted great even after a couple of days in the fridge.

  Love this recipe with any stuffed pasta. My brother-in-law usually has a packet of pasta to himself, and was surprised when I told him it was only half on his plate! Baking it seems to make it more filling - don't know why!

  Really easy to make but so tasty - I did boil the pasta for 3 mins though before assembling in the dish as I found it too al dente when I did not do that

  Another highly successful recipe and so very easy! It is scenting my kitchen out with delicious aromas even as I type this comment. I kept strictly to the recipe as I wanted to know how long it would take to make - not long, so a winner for anyone who wants to produce a savoury dish quickly. I doubled the quantities so that I could feed a family and it has worked a treat.

  I made this for my husband and he enjoyed it. Ok it's not cooking but it isn't always possible to make everything from scratch.
