Excellent! I made a double recipe of this yesterday for a pasta party I was attending today. I made as stated except I used homemade oven dried tomatoes and a lot more of them. I cooked the mixture for several hours and when serving the sauce today I added the creme fraiche at the last minute along with a bit of cream cheese. Delicious and a huge hit. Thanks for posting, lady_heather, I love this great vegetarian recipe!
