This was very tasty, I for kicks, threw in some black food coloring to the boiling water to dye the pasta black, worked like a charm, as the mom of 3 boys this has been requested all year long!!!

This was a big hit with the kids and the Husband. I used Ragu Original and think a nicetouch to it would be to add some olives and mushrooms.

I didn't actually make this but I've made recipies like this with penne so I know it's great, and just the idea of using bowties and calling it bats and cobwebs makes it a 5 star! What a cute idea!!
05/22/2011
This was really great! Reminded me of Lasagna only better! I used Classico Tomato & Basil for the sauce as I always do and this was perfectly spiced
11/01/2010
Thisd gets 4 stars just for being such a great idea. My kids loved it and it is now a Halloween favourite. It is tasty, but the flavour depends wholelyn the bottled sauce that you buy. Thanks for sharing such a cute idea.

I am an avid Trader Joe's shopper and following the recipe with the following tweaks turns out fabulous! 1. Use a whole log of "magically sliced" fresh mozzarella. As my brother puts it -- the extra cheese and use of fresh mozzarella "puts it over the top". 2. Use a jar of the Rustica Pomodoro pasta sauce. Enjoy!!

Excellent recipe!
06/16/2011
Great recipe. I also added two cloves of chopped garlic and a can of chopped tomatoes. Everyone (including the picky eaters) loved it.
10/22/2011
Simple and SO tasty. My 5 yr old loves the idea of calling the bowtie bats, but she calls the cheese bat poo. LOL Not appetizing, but cute. :-) Happy Halloween!

Ok, for kids (including the Hubby) who are cold and ready to eat after trick or treating, this was "AWESOME". I made noodles (very al dente) and meat sauce (ground chicken brst with spices for breakfast sausage from AR site) the night before and refrigerated in separate gallon ziplocs. Next afternoon, I threw 2 layers of noodles/sauce/cheese chunks in the crockpot on high (I ran hot water over the noodles and re heated the sauce before layering). Ended up cooking for about 2 hours. Noodles were still in great shape, cheese was hot enough to string but more importantly, dinner was cooking while we were out and ready when we got home. (FYI--That sounds like I really complicated up a simple idea. I'm just saying prepping in advance and doing via crockpot works well.) This is really fun and clever. My kids thought I was pretty cool for making it. :) Good mom moment.

This is a great idea. I made this with Prego Traditional sauce, and used Italian Sausage instead of ground beef. Kids loved it!!!!
11/17/2011
Very simple and kid-friendly meal. Easy to prepare. The meat does not have a lot of flavor if you follow the recipe exactly but we added onion powder, adobo and red pepper flakes and it was delicious.
11/09/2011
What a fun recipe! The kids ate so well, tying to see how many cobwebs appeared as they brought the fork to their mouth. It kept them eating to the last bite!! Might try with ground sausage next time.
09/23/2011
This was delicious...served with garlic bread. Also added garlic powder and onion powder to the hamburger while cooking. We were impressed with this recipe because its so easy.
11/06/2011
Very good. Used Classico Italian Sausage sauce. Will use a little more parm. cheese next time. This will be a recipe I'll use many times in the future.
09/03/2011
Soooo easy to make! This recipe is also very "budget friendly".
11/14/2011
So good! My mom used to make something like this as I was growing up.
04/19/2011
My husband loves it. It tastes just like spaghetti and very easy to make!
11/04/2011
My 2 year old and I really enjoyed this, by my picky eater husband didn't think it was all that great. I will def make again. The only change I made to the recipe was that I added minced garlic.
12/04/2011
This is one of my daughters favorite dishes (she is a very picky eater) Thanks Kristin! After some time we did start using Italian Sausage and Emeril's Roasted Gaaahlic sauce. This has been a huge hit over the years.
01/02/2012
Terrific recipe. Made it once at halloween and we liked it so much I made a double batch to freeze for future use. We will deffinately be making this a lot.
01/09/2012
It was a HUGE hit at my house. I will DEFINITELY be making this again!
11/02/2011
This was a wonderful, quick and easy meal! Thank you so much for posting this. I wound up using a lot more cheese than the recipe called for because that was the size package that I had to use up. My pasta bow was also more, but the sauce jar was less. In other words, this recipe is quite versatile and not dependent upon precise measurements. I kept mone in the oven for the full 20 minutes. It was enjoyed by all of us and was a warm welcome for a midweek meal. So easy, yet tasty!
09/06/2011
Yummy! Great way to break the plain spaghetti blues!! Kiddos and Hubby loved it, and so did I. I agree with another reviewer - VERY budget friendly! Thanks for sharing!
10/31/2011
I have done this several times but with a twist, I add bacon and half a cup heavy cream at the end...yummm
10/31/2011
I use my own spagetti sauce (we call it gravy) recipe. Parsley, garlic, locatela cheese, salt, pepper, Italian bread crumbs, milk, eggs. I don't measure. Salt, pepper, grated cheese in good Italian crushed plain tomatoes. I make enough for 3 meals and freeze. All the flavor in my gravy comes from cooking the hamburger in the tomatoes. Sometimes I through in a raw potato, left over chicken or pork, umm so good. Play around with this gravy and don't be shy with the spices.
11/01/2011
Very easy to make and very tasty,I used a 12 oz box of farfalle and more ground beef and I had to adjust the cheese and it turned out great.
10/31/2011
This was tasty but to me all it was is Hamburger Helper with a zing.
10/31/2011
Very Good...Season ground beef lightly and add minced garlic...You will enjoy ;-)
04/19/2012
Like Lasagna, but better!
10/02/2014
This was delicious! I substituted the ground beef with Johnsonville Italian sausage and that made this taste amazing! A fun recipe to make and kids loved this.
10/18/2013
This was an easy weeknight meal!! It tasted great and my son loved it!! Will make again :)
10/10/2011
Just made this tonight per the instructions. Used Ragu Onion and Garlic Robusto sauce. Accidentally forgot to put the parmasean in, but sprinkled it over top at the end while it cooled. Delicious. Use a good flavorful sauce and you won't regret making this dish.
10/31/2011
Going to make this tonight. Going to add some sliced pepperoni, cut in half (we decided they could be little tombstones). One reviwer suggested olives. Why noy? They could be eyeballs. Going to give it 5 starts because I know they will all like it and it's such a cool idea.
10/20/2011
This was cute and pretty tasty.
10/27/2011
Not all that original but good none the less.
03/02/2012
I followed the recipe exactly. We all loved it, especially hubby who said "don't lose this recipe, it's a keeper." Next time I will add a little more mozzarella and maybe some mushrooms because we love them. Will definitely make this again soon.
01/06/2013
Great recipe, especially fun around Halloween and for parties! Big hit with myself and my roommate. Easy to make and relatively cost-friendly for myself as a college student.
10/31/2011
Loved it!!!
11/01/2018
I made this using sweet Italian sausage and my family loved it. Used a jar of store bought sauce (only had one) and added a can of tomato sauce and some basil and oregano to give it a nice flavor. Warmed sauce on the stove to blend the flavors. Didn't have parmesan so I used mozzarella cheese only and put extra sauce on top and around the edges of the casserole dish before covering with foil, which I removed 5 min before taking out of oven. My family likes their bats and cobwebs cheesy but not dry, and so the extra sauce prevent the pasta along the edges from overcooking. Perfect! They loved, loved, loved it! Will make again soon!
05/14/2014
Easy fun
11/01/2011
This was an awesome meal for Halloween! Family loved the name of it! Even the picky eaters went back for seconds. Thanks for the easy recipe.
11/24/2013
I didn't have the cooking creme so I used 4 oz of cream cheese instead, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and fajita seasoning. It tasted good, but next time I think I'll try using less cream cheese as I wanted to taste more of the spaghetti sauce. Definitely going to make this again.
11/13/2018
Very flavorful, I was did make a couple of changes. I used only 1/2 lb of ground beef and added 1/2 lb of Italian sausage. I cooked those together along with a little chopped onion. I also substituted the cubed mozzarella cheese for finely shredded Italian cheese blend. It's easy and very tasty.
10/31/2011
What a simple and great idea! I made this tonight for dinner (halloween). Even the picky man eaters I have loved it! thanks again ;0
10/23/2013
Had 3/4 C of ricotta and a zucchini (cooked in butter on the stovetop for 8 minutes) on hand to add in. Delicious!
08/31/2014
It is delicious. Taste like lasgana
11/01/2011
My family LOVED this! What a fun dish. I love creative themed meals like this. The only thing I changed was that I used half pork and half beef.
11/26/2018
I used spaghetti noodles because that's what I've got on hand and this is so much better than boring old spaghetti. Also loved the leftovers so this will be a regular in my house.
10/31/2011
5 stars for easist meal I have made in a while! Added buttered peas & garlic toast & called it done. I followed the recipe exactly, just added some mushrooms to the sauce. Very good with no fuss.
11/26/2013
It's a great, easy recipe! Try it with penne, or other pastas, as well.
10/13/2014
Great recipe!!! I use I often.
07/12/2012
My daughter absolutely loved this!
10/31/2018
I wish i had taken a picture! I made it exactly as shown and it came out soooo delicious. I had made it with 'the kids' in mind ... but the adults devoured it too! Seconds were had by everyone!
10/31/2016
Kids ate it and praised it
11/16/2018
I would say at least 2lbs of beef. One pound isn't enough. Filling meal sure and looks neat. Maybe more herbs added to it.
10/17/2016
I make a different version, I put Italian sausage in and makes it taste different.
10/27/2016
This was quite good with Barilla Roasted Garlic , however, following the suggestion of another reader, I used fresh mozzarella, and the cobwebs just didn't happen. Taste, however, was great.
11/01/2018
Super easy and my kids loved it.
10/17/2016
I've made this as written and it was very good - my family loves it. My pet peeve is to read reviews where the recipes are changed and then rated, and here I went and did that... I made it again and added a small container of ricotta cheese and it was amazing. Lasagna, only bat and cobweb style! It was also a huge hit....
05/17/2015
I used ground turkey and used string cheese cut up into slices and then added shredded cheese too. My whole family loves it including my picky two year old. My seven year old had 3 helpings and my 19 month old ate it well too. Thank you for the recipe it will now be a staple n our house!
11/04/2018
This was really good.
10/30/2019
Love it! Fast, easy, delicious. The kids claw their eyes out for more! The adults can't wait to make it for their boys and ghouls. It's perfect for a fun children's party. At night clubs, it appears terrifyingly scrumptious. EVERY YEAR MUST!!!
11/14/2017
I always love making this dish. Super easy and always a big hit with dinner guests.
10/30/2018
I made it with Italian sausage instead of hamburger, spicy and delicious!
10/17/2019
Yummy!! I used shredded mozzarella cheese and it was supposed to be cubed (I was buying ingredients from memory …. oops). It was still super yummy. When I make it again with the cubes, making it a lot stringier, I would give it 5 stars!!
02/15/2019
Definitely a do over. Quick, easy and delicious
11/02/2017
I will make this again!
10/31/2010
Excellent recipe!
10/17/2017
It was such an easy recipe and it was sooo delicious. I definitely will be making again.
11/03/2015
Easy. Switched to sweet Italien sausage in chunks. Just mozzarella, bow ties, 1 can tomatoe sauce, Italien sausage. 2 cups mozz., 1 whole package of Italian sausage, 1 box of bow ties. Fits perfectly in a small glass casserole dish. Looks great. Even added leftover cheddar cheese to make it look better.
06/20/2021
This was a huge hit with my family! I used twisty pasta & it worked great, all other ingredients the same. It is a great alternative to lasagna, which no one in my fam but myself like, this is a perfect compromise!
10/31/2020
This was so delicious. I added mushrooms, green peppers and garlic to the recipe and used beyond meat since I'm vegetarian. All the meat eaters were satisfied too!
10/28/2020
I more or less doubled the recipe. I have 2 teen boys at home and they devoured the entire tray!
10/16/2019
Yes will definitely make it again as itwas made for a department luncheon for Halloween, I got some black food dye and as I was boiling the pasta I added some drops which turned the pasta black and it really looked like bats
10/02/2018
use 16oz of bowtie per 6 servings
04/05/2018
Amazing!!! Everyone loved it.
11/12/2019
So yummy and cheesy. My boyfriend said it was the best pasta dish he's ever had that I've made.
10/29/2015
I made it meatless since my sister is a vegetarian. Without the ground beef, it doesn't really need the onion, but other than that it was a huge hit
11/28/2015
Made this for Halloween and my 8-year-old loves it. We also made meatballs and stuck sliced green olives stuffed with pimento for "eyeballs."
11/08/2018
Grandkids LOVED it!
11/01/2015
Good, easy. Fun for Halloween! I added mushrooms, green peppers, garlic and a can of diced tomatoes to the sauce, and seasoned the beef a bit as it was cooking. I used Prego with Chunky Vegetables but still wanted more veggies added.
11/01/2018
Loved this! I wanted a kick to it after reading several reviews that said it was a bit bland.... I used a 9X13, put in a lb of ground beef and a lb of ground Italian sausage. I used a lot more cheese than necessary and my sauce was Spicy Arrabiata. One note... Another review suggested dying the bats black. Awesome idea. But! Regular food dye to "make those bats black" doesn't work. Ha ha, they ended up sorta grey and weird looking... Get proper black dye for that if it's your goal. Learn from my mistake! I put mine in the oven for 20 minutes, opened it up, gave it another 5 and it was perfect. Spicy, some different textures, lots of ooey gooey cheese... Perfect after a night of trick or treating!
02/08/2019
I used penne, that's what I had on hand. It turned out delicious. Quick and easy. Like lasagna only easier and not so messy to make. It was a hit with my husband who is not a huge lasagna lover.
10/31/2015
Love it! Use spicy Italian sausage instead of beef. Better then lasagne!
10/30/2015
I altered it slightly and used sausage and turkey burger for a unique flavor. I just threw a bunch of shredded mozzarella in. Pretty good.
10/29/2018
Lots of extra cheese
10/30/2021
This was quite tasty. My family disagreed with another review here and that this did not taste like hamburger helper. I used Kirkland marinara sauce and added sage, oregano, and garlic. My husband like the cheese and how it didn't melt in and disappear. Will definitely make this again.
10/29/2019
Added chopped chicken sausage and veggies, pasta sauce and Italian spices.....very yummy
11/02/2016
I made this for our grandchildren and they really liked it. I prepared it as directed except that I used a 12 oz. package of pasta. The sauce and cheese were enough for that amount of pasta. I diced the onion very small so as not to be noticeable to younger tastes - some flavor but the onion was not visible. I'll make this again even if the bats aren't flying!!
10/05/2016
The dish was very good, I added petite diced tomatoes and the Parmesan on half way through cooking it. My brother suggested adding a creamier cheese to it.
11/30/2012
Made this for our Halloween dinner, was pretty good. Can see making this again. Love the name!!
11/10/2018
No & yes, yes, yes!
09/23/2012
My kids and grand kids both loved the recipe just the way it is, but as I was surfing other recipes I found one more thing to add to this to make it the perfect Halloween meal. Take thawed meatballs and push three broken spaghetti noodles through the meatball to make it look like a spider assemble them on top with a little bit of the sauce and/or cheese so they can soften the spaghetti noodles while cooking in the oven!
10/23/2018
Forgot to take a picture. My granddaughter & grandson, who usually eat very little, both had seconds! It was a real big hit!
01/25/2015
I made this for Halloween a couple of years ago, and my kids liked it so much it became a regular staple for our year-round dinners. I add a little extra sauce, maybe a half a jar extra, because I prefer it with more sauce than on the drier side. But, this recipe is a hit either way and really hard to mess up! Tip: I prefer to mix all the cheese in rather than leave a layer on top. It gets a little too overcooked when on top for me. Mixing in also maximizes the cobweb effect!
12/08/2015
My kids and husband love this recipe. The first time I made it, I only had sweet Italian sausage on hand. I removed the casing, crumbled it and browned it with the onions. Gave it an amazing taste! Used ground beef the second time, and chicken sausage the third time. Out of all 3 trials, we prefer sweet Italian sausage or chicken sausage over the ground beef. This dish does not disappoint!?
01/26/2017
I give this 5 stars because it was easy and good the best combo. I bought a cheep spaghetti sauce and it would have been a lot better with a good sauce so I suggest using a good sauce because that is where most of the flavor comes from.
10/29/2018
I doubled the recipe and used worms (rotini) too.
