I threw this together in a hurry using stuff I'd scraped from the bottom of my cupboards... threw in some frozen broccoli and used brown rice pasta. The result is something like a healthy version of mostaccioli or a very chunky marinara. Very yummy--thanks for saving me! I will make this again! - 7/21/09
