    I made this for dinner tonight and added 1 onion, chopped in large pieces with the garlic. It was wonderful and makes a HUGE amount. I might add another can of the tomatoes next time to have it a little more saucy. I love lots of tomatoes! - 1/26/09

    Family enjoyed this - added some zucchini to it. Said it was good, but didn't think it would be added to our round of meals we use. The idea of using a crock pot for pot-lucks sounds like a winner. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/5/09

    I used zucchini, onions, fresh basil, shrimp and some chicken stock. Top it off with Pecorino romano!! I'm allergic to tomatoes and my daughter has a dairy allergy! - 1/3/09

    This sounds good. I am going to try it although I have never had portabello mushrooms before but I like mushrooms so I think it will probably add a little flavor to it. - 1/1/09

    This was so good. I used 2 cans of Italian seasoned diced tomatoes and some Italian blend shredded cheese. - 1/1/09

    Sounds delicious. What weight for pasta and mushrooms?? A teaspoon of honey takes away the edge of tomato bitterness too.... - 1/1/09
