These rock. I am a fatty sauce fiend, so I used one 16 ounce box of noodles and doubled up on the sauce! I also did not let the sauce sit before tossing with the noodles due to time constraints, and it was still completely awesome, but next time I will definitely do it the way the recipe says. Thanks Kittencal, I will be making these again and again!
