Made as written, then my husband, niece and I tasted, and added a few more seasonings and 2 Tbsp. concentrated tomato paste. This makes a LOT...I am thinking more like 12 servings, especially if most of the people eating are little ones. Thanks for the recipe! -
This is BUSSIN. I used no water, all beef broth. Italian seasoning in place of the basil and oregano and it is delicious! You did something wrong Marge. -

Nothing special, I followed the recipe. The sauce is watery, it may be better with less water and more Parmesan. -
This is a fantastic recipe! Very easy and delicious. I modified it a little just to accommodate what I had on hand. But I'm sure the original is just as good. First, I cut the recipe in half just because I had half a can of tomato sauce and a half a box of pasta opened already. Turned out to be the perfect amount for me, my wife and our 9 year old. And then I used 2 cups of chicken stock instead of beef stock/water because I didn't have beef stock. I used bow tie pasta instead of elbow. But that's about the only changes and it turned out great. This will definitely be in the rotation from now on!

My family loved this. I did change it up a bit. I used 4 cups of beef broth instead of adding broth and water. I also used 1/2 teaspoon of italian seasoning instead of the basil and oregano. I didn't have fresh parsley and forgot to add the dried. I also used a teaspoon of minced garlic instead of two cloves. I used Dreamfield pasta which was a 13 ounce box. This had a nice bite to it but wasn't too spicey. Hubby did add some pepper to his but everyone else enjoyed it as served. Will be making again.
