An enjoyable dinner. I split the recipe and made it to serve 2. Therefore, I was left with the instructions calling for 1/2 can of tomatoes and 4 oz of tomato sauce. I used the full can of tomatoes and left off the sauce. Served it over whole wheat rotini. It has a nice flavor and a subtle kick. Just goes to show you that healthy doesn't have to be dull. Thanks Jude.
