I cannot believe this hasn't been reviewed yet! I made this for dinner tonight when I really didn't feel like going to a lot of work, and both my wife and I loved it! I made it exactly as written with no changes at all. There is a lot of sauce left in the pan, and I was really wishing I had some real Parmesan to thicken it a bit. I think there's also a lot of room here for other additions such as bell peppers or mushrooms, or maybe even some wilted spinach tossed in at the very end. This recipe goes into my tried and true collection and will be made often. Served with homemade French bread and a simple Caesar salad. Thanks for sharing.
