This was wonderful, I also made a batch for my parents, as a pot luck very simple and quick to whip up!! -
Pugsandkisses, This was so good,a quick meal in one dish. The only thing different I did was,I sprinkled some parmeson cheese on then topped it with the mozzerella. It was easy and very good.Thanks,Darlene Summers -
This was pretty good but i would definitely add pepperoni next time. Substituted apple juice for the white wine.

Great recipe. I didnt use wine but still turned out great. -
Thanks, PugsAndKisses, for a quick meal that tastes good. I did add one tablespoon sugar to cut down on the slightly acidic flavor, but that is just a family preference. Ellie's good suggestion of adding green peppers, mushrooms, oregano and extra garlic also gives this delicious basic recipe versatility.

I wasn't really expecting to like this much, I don't generally care for pasta and red sauce, but my boyfriend was really wanting to try it, so I gave it a shot. Besides adding some fresh Parmesan cheese, and substituting ground beef for the Italian sausage, I followed the recipe exactly. I absolutely loved it! It is probably my new favorite red sauce pasta! -
This was pretty good. I had some hot italian sausage I needed to use up, so I added that in instead of the mild and I was glad I did. It gave this dish more flavor. I also substituted the wine with white grape juice and used more tomato sauce instead of paste (personal preference). All in all I would make again. Thanks. -
As GaylaJ said, it is simple and good. The only thing I did different was using water instead of the wine.

I don't have that many recipes posted (YET!) but if anyone takes the time to try one of my recipes, PLEASE post an HONEST review. The onl thing I would ask, is that I'd love to know what you did or did not like about it. I'm still learning, so input is greatly appreciated!!!
