This was really good, and my kids have already asked me to make it again. I didn't have any eggplant on hand, so I had to leave that out. But that was the only way I deviated from the recipe. It made a wonderful, healthy meal. My only suggestion is to add a few herbs (oregano, basil, parsley come to mind), to complement the tomato-based sauce. Thanks, Lauralie41.

I loved it! I made the half of it, substitude green for red pepper and I also added red pepper flaked to made it a bit hot! And I added some olive oil at the end. Next time I'll cook firstly the vegetables in olive oil and the I'll add the tomatoes. Thanks Lauri for a wordeful dinner!
