This recipe is almost exactly the same as our favorite two nighter that I've been making for years. It came out of a low-fat magazine I once had but no longer need as I have this one memorized. Only difference is the addition of basil which I may try but it's not necessary imo. This is my DH's favorite meal. We usually have it the first night with penne and linguine the second night. It's really great recipe, I'm so glad I found this one posted already so I can use it for my shopping list. Thanks!

EXCELLENT recipe! I prepared it in a dutch oven, added 3 oz of tomato paste and 1/2 cup of water. Makes a large quantity....great for leftovers. I served it over cooked white rice. Great flavor. Prepared for Aus/NZ Swap #16, May 2008.
