i had a sauce I had made that was full of veggies so i just used that instead of the sauce and veggies. and it was very good!

This turned out very well. I found that the flavour was a bit bland. I ended up adding some spices to it. I used leftover penne pasta instead of the spaghetti. I cut the pasta crosswise into little circles and it came out looking really neat.
