     The nutritional information on this recipe seems to be way off. It says two jars of pasta sauce but when you click recipe makeover you find they used Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce (Garlic&Herb)(1/2c), 6 serving (remove) I don't have any pasta jar to look at but I think they are bigger than that. - 7/5/20

     I used sliced tomatoes that I cooked down with the peppers and onions. I used Italian spices to flavor it and 1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth. Overall, very yummy. - 4/29/12

     One cup = 8 oz. so how can you "Stir in 1 cup of the cheese Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese" if the recipe only calls for one cup of cheese total? Think you meant 16 oz. of cheese? - 7/30/11

     made this last night as a way to use up some leftovers, tho did change it up a little as no onions or peppers, added an ear of corn and used tricolor pasta wheels instead as well. Pretty good, even approved of by a picky 13yo - 7/8/11

     This was excellent!!! I used Italian Turkey Sausage. Next time I will use Barilla Plus Pasta to add extra fiber. I will be making this alot in the future because the entire family loved it. Thank you for sharing the recipe. - 2/22/11

     Loved this! I needed to eat more veggies, so I added a TON of sliced peppers, onions, julianned carrots and broccoli. It ended up being a big batch, so my husband and I had leftovers for days. - 2/20/11

     This turned out awesome. I accidentally put homemade chili in it instead of spaghetti sauce though. I need to learn to label my frozen items. It was very filling and tasty! - 1/27/11

     For a busy family, this was an easy meal to prepare and clean up! The taste was great. I used mild italian sausage and it turned out very tasty. Will add this to our meal plan. - 7/9/10

     Just made this dish and love it! I substituted penne as the pasta. I cut down on the amount of cheese as well. - 6/15/10

     Excellent and easy to make. Almost could be a meal by itself. I cut up my sausages instead of whole ones and mixed that in for even pieces throughout. The whole family loved it and will keeps this recipe around for lots of future use. - 2/22/10
