    We don't use wine. Would adapt something else or use extra beef broth. - 6/16/19

    As the poster notes, this recipe is easy to adapt. I added a chopped green pepper and substituted 12 ounces of a tri-color pasta for the whole wheat. I doubled the onion and garlic and added oregano, basil, and parsley to the seasonings. I reduced the salt with two cans of no-salt diced tomatoes. - 8/27/12

    I made this last night for a party...SO easy, and SO yum! I substituted chicken broth (low sodium) used no salt added tomatoes and white wine and turkey Italian sausage instead of the beef broth, etc. It was a little bland but a dash of salt made it perfect. I cooked the pasta before adding - 12/16/08

    This recipe was very tasty and satified the tummy. I substituted spaghetti squash for the zucchini, as that is what I had on hand. I also substututed rice for the pasta as that was left over from last night. Delicious - 1/9/08
