I definitely made some changes to this but it was still really really good! Because the recipe was so simple, I just made the sauce in a pan and added the pierogies for the last few minutes. Dinner was done in 20 minutes! I also added some more veggies for a complete meal. The sauce was really good with so few ingredients! Thank you.

This turned out great. So easy to make. The oil and vinegar made it taste a bit different than a pasta sauce, which we liked. Doubled the recipe since we have a big crockpot. Also added some sliced mushrooms. The seasonings were just right. Thanks for sharing- this recipe is a keeper!
