Betty's Baked Penne Rigate Recipe

[jenniferevan]

I just made this dish for lunch it was great :) thanks

[simplycharming46]

Betty I tried this recipe Sunday and my family went bananas (LOL)... mmm mmm...really good eating.. thanks again!!

[simplycharming46]

hmmmm! trying this dish today!!

[brittneydargusch21]

I just didn't know by using a smaller casserole dish if I needed to cut the recipe in half

[bettyskitchen]

@brittneydargusch21 I think it would be a good idea to cut the recipe in half, because there will be a tendency for the casserole to boil over in the oven in the smaller dish, unless you make less of it.

--Betty :)

[brittneydargusch21]

I only have a small 8 by 8 or something like that casserole dish I broke my 9 by 13 on accident

[bettyskitchen]

@brittneydargusch21 8 x 8 would be fine.

--Betty

[brittneydargusch21]

Would I be able to cut this in half like use 1 pound of the Italian sausage and cut everything else in half also cause it's for three people

[bettyskitchen]

@brittneydargusch21 Yes, that will turn out great; just use a smaller baking dish.

--Betty :)

[brittneydargusch21]

Would it be ok if i Just use the 1 pound of a mild Italian sausage that's what I have and if so do I need to cut back on the sauce

[SnookiPinky87CP]

This is so delishous!

I ate it, iT WAS SO GOOD!

Thanks Betty! I SURE LOVED THE RECIPE!

[bettyskitchen]

@SnookiPinky87CP Thanks for your great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[16hilltyKMS]

What is the brand of the ground beef, and where do you get it?

[bettyskitchen]

@16hilltyKMS I almost always use Laura's Lean ground beef, and I find it easily at my supermarket (Kroger).

--Betty :)

[JustinDrewBieberLuv8]

Oh My Gosh! That Looks Delicious!!! Right As You Showed The Pasta Out Of The Oven My Stomach Drowled. :) Hahah

[bettyskitchen]

@JustinDrewBieberLuv8 Thanks! I hope you like it!

--Betty :)

[Elianaboo]

I found my next dish :) looks delicious and simple to make

[bettyskitchen]

@Elianaboo Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[InTransition09]

I made this last night for dinner. It was sooo easy to make and sooo good! This recipe will be going in my collection. Thanks Mrs. Betty for this wonderful recipe!

[bettyskitchen]

@InTransition09 You are very welcome! I'm glad you liked the recipe!

--Betty :)

[Tweetaj]

Can I just use Kraft Cheddar cheese instead?

[bettyskitchen]

@Tweetaj Yes, Kraft Cheddar cheese will be fine in this casserole.

--Betty :)

[Hipcubbiesfan80]

Made this last night for the first time and it turned out real good, thanks.

[bettyskitchen]

@Hipcubbiesfan80 Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[CoreysOldLady]

your very easy to follow and im so glad you use ingredients that arent impossible to find, thank you

[CoreysOldLady]

your very easy to follow, thank you

[Ipodtouchfanboy]

if i dont want to use sausage what can i raplace it with please reply ?

[bettyskitchen]

@Ipodtouchfanboy Ground beef would be good. Or, you could put some different types of cheese and make it a meatless dish.

--Betty :)

[anithfanz]

Hye Betty, can I replace Italian sausage with button mushroom?

[bettyskitchen]

@anithfanz Yes, it will be a different flavor, but that will taste really good!

--Betty :)

[ndnflava]

how many does this serve?

do you think this dish would come out just as good if i used rotini?

[bettyskitchen]

@ndnflava Substituting rotini is fine. This will serve 4 to 6, depending on whether you provide salad, bread, etc.

--Betty :)

[tiffehmusic]

looks delicious!!!

[MrDerbybear]

I made this and it was so easy….everyone like it. I’m definitely making this again!

[Gotjonas97]

I heard lean meat tends to be tough. Would it matter if I didn't use low-fat?? I really want to try this :)

[bettyskitchen]

@Gotjonas97 You don't have to use low-fat meat; just drain any excess fat after browning the meat.

--Betty :)

[kikrokz1]

This looks Awesome! :]

[Lovemegoofy]

Soooo gonna try this tonight....I am in a big mood of big meaty cheesy pasta that isnt lasagna! mmmm Sounds good!

[ndnflava]

is the entire jar of sauce enough for the pasta to not be dry when it comes out of the oven?

[bettyskitchen]

@ndnflava The proportion of sauce to noodles used here is nice and juicy--not dry.

--Betty :)

[xps1998]

Great recipe and a beautiful chef woman!!

[purplepassion2428]

omg that looks so good my 2 year old is wathing with me and she was saying mmmmm we are gonna try this for dinner :)

[TheMakeupjunkie23]

I have made this recipe a few times with the sausage it is very tasty and my family loves it

[bettyskitchen]

@TheMakeupjunkie23 Thanks for the great feedback!  I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[furberry101]

can there be a substitute for the sausages??

[bettyskitchen]

@furberry101 You could use hamburger (ground beef). It will have a milder taste, so you might want to add a *little* bit of ground red pepper as you brown the ground beef.

--Betty :)

[Abetterlife88]

Betty, this recipe looks so delicious, but i'm afraid i'm not a big fan of sausage. I was wondering if i could substitute pepperoni in place of the sausage? I've tried so many of your recipes and they are all so tasty and easy. Thank you for sharing all of these amazing dishes with us. :)

[bettyskitchen]

@Abetterlife88 Sure, pepperoni would be great in the place of sausage! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[kat21sd]

Betty I love the food you make & you are so clear but one question how do you Stay so thin making all this Great Food

[bettyskitchen]

@kat21sd I eat some of everything I make. I just limit myself to small portions. I also work out regularly and make sure to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables!

--Betty :)

[F8DeleteR]

You are such a doll, and i love your recipes :)

[bettyskitchen]

@F8DeleteR Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[SHANKY762003]

I agree, Prego is the best for Italian foods. A relative just got me using Prego instead of making sauce homemade, it taste just as good as homemade.

[bettyskitchen]

That's what I think, but I do mainly Southern cooking, and I did not grow up eating *real* Italian food! But I love Prego!

--Betty :)

I love Italian-style food, too! My dishes are never true Italian--pretty Americanized. But I love the opportunity to have great Italian bread with a meal! Thanks for your lovely comment! Have a great day, Mera!

--Betty :)

[mc12188]

[bettyskitchen]

Hi! The pork and pasta and vegetable bake sounds great! I live in Kentucky, which is toward the center of the U.S.-- a little bit toward the east.

Sending best wishes from Kentucky,

--Betty :)

[tracy89dn]

looks so good! I'll make this next week! Thank a lot, Betty. You are my secrect weapon in cooking! lol. I'd love to send you some Vietnamese cinamon( my home country) if you like to. :)

[bettyskitchen]

I have never been called a secret weapon before! I'm flattered! I'd love the Vietnamese cinnamon! Thanks so much!

--Betty :)

[KrystalBall11]

Kroger has bulk italian sausage, but you've REALLY gotta look for it.

[bettyskitchen]

I definitely am going to look for it! Thanks for the info!

--Betty :)

[Wivanunu]

Hey Betty, Can I come over for dinner sometime? :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Do you live closeby? ( I get questions like that from some of my English friends!) Thanks for your confidence in my cooking!

--Betty :)

[kokonutbaby1]

Another great tasting easy meal, Betty! Cant wait to try it! Looks very yummy and easy to make, plus, I bet it freezes well too! A person could make that up in one of those aluminum pans, cover it and freeze it for when u have company popping over or just dont have time to cook. Great video!---Angie

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Angie! You are *exactly* right! This is easy to make and really keeps well!  The taste is terrific! Thanks for your wonderful comment!

--Betty :)

[icemom09]

Looks great! You are so much fun to watch! Such a tiny little thing!

[fattmatt66]

Damn that looks really good! I love baked pastas.

[bettyskitchen]

It is really godd--and really easy to make! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[SexyEyez89]

looks really good i make my pasta very similar but i use bell peppers and use a different cheese.

[bettyskitchen]

Bell peppers would be a great addition! Thanks for your nice comment, and thanks for watching!

--Betty :)

[junkmail1]

This looks absolutely delicious!! Italian food is my FAVORITE so anytime I see an Italian recipe my mouth waters! This is such an easy recipe so I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing Betty =)

[bettyskitchen]

I specialize in "easy and must taste great!" Thanks for your comment. I hope you enjoy your Italian meal!

--Betty :)

[skabibble]

Its Great and Delicious!!:)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the wonderful feedback!

--Betty :)

[nabeshabu]

Great comfort food :) I would have a bit of red wine with that.

Iced tea is good too, since both tea and red wine have health benefiting properties :D

[bettyskitchen]

You know I'm an iced tea person! But red wine sounds good, too!  Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

Thankyou Betty, my family are going to love this. They love pasta and cheese!

Lucy

[daisyflower22]

Hi Betty

Hope you and your family are well. It's always a pleasure to watch your channel. Thanks for replying. If i am just cooking for my family (which are three of us) would you say i half all the ingredients? also if i was to use shredded mozarella cheese would i just cover the surface with it?lol i am terrible when it comes to Maths, i just did a recipe and had to half everything. I mean even basic maths puzzles me!

Lucy

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Lucy!

I'm sorry I wasn't clearer--yes, just halve all of the ingredients, and when it comes to the mozzarella cheese, shredded is fine--just cover the surface evenly and then sprinkle your Parmesan cheese evenly over that--it doesn't have to be exact! Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

This looks DELICOUS! You make everything looks so easy, unfussy to make, thankyou! You make everything look enjoyable to make, thankyou! Cooking should be fun and you make it so! THANKYOU!!

UK Hugs to you xx

[emtrixdk]

awesome as usaul!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks!  I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty :)

[dkkd123]

yummyyyyyyyyyy

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you! I hope you have an opportunity to try the recipe. You'll just have to pick up a few ingredients, but it is really easy to fix! Much less expensive than at an Italian restaurant!

--Betty :)

[notnormalbuzz]

i love this recipe :) i have had it b4 and like it alot. you look so pretty today!! such a classy lady you are betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Ben.  You are my greatest supporter! I appreciate your encouragement!

--Betty :)

[gazzaka]

nice to see betty holding sausage ;-) n1

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

--Betty  :)

[JimmyMacJones]

That looks delicious, Betty. I might very well make that for dinner tomorrow. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Jimmy! I think you will like it! Thanks for your nice comment! I hope your day is terrific!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

I made this dish today for six people. It went down a treat. Thanks Betty. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your great feedback! I'm glad you liked the recipe!

--Betty  :)

[f4reeksho]

This looks soooo good! Will it be okay if I left out the ground beef but kept the sausage in? Im not sure if it would unbalance the taste or not? Because I don't eat ground beef

thx

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, that would be fine. It wouldn't change the taste or consistency much. This is one of those dishes where you can change the type of pasta, the types of cheese, the flavor of the sauce, and, yes, the meat! Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[tonsoffunwwe]

I work at a kroger here in virginia in the meat department and they should sell the Italian sausage ground up without the casing

[bettyskitchen]

I got mine here at Kroger in KY. It would be much nicer without the casing! Thanks for the info!

--Betty :)

[tonsoffunwwe]

If they block their department like we do it should be right next to the links

[bettyskitchen]

I will look! Maybe I overlooked it! Thanks very much!!!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

Thanks for replying! well it would just be for my husband, son and myself! so would i just half the ingredients? could i just use one layer for the cheese,and use shredded mozarella instead of sliced?my family loves pasta especially my son! me and my family are very well thankyou Betty!

Lucy

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Lucy!

Yes, you could do just one layer--and that should work out about right for you! It's always nice to hear from you! I'm glad you and your family are well! Have a great day!

--Betty :)

[daisyflower22]

Hi Betty!

It looks a really tasty recipe! how many servings is this? hope you and your family are well send them my regards!

Lucy

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Lucy!

I would use this to serve 6 adults, assuming you have some salad and bread to go along! Nice to hear from you...Thanks for your kind wishes! I hope you and your family are fine!

--Betty :)

[lmdelsanto1]

[bettyskitchen]

How coincidental--after eating this meal, my husband said he didn't need to go to Italian restaurants anymore--this was great for him! I think you will like it! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[holdthedressing]

Betty I really appreciate that you show us what the packaging looks like for some of the ingredients.. sometimes it's hard to know what to buy when you go into the store. Thanks! :)

[bettyskitchen]

You are so welcome!  I know I would be confused if there were only a list of ingredients! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[JenChristiansmommy]
