    Using canned crushed tomatoes would cut down on the workload for this recipe. I am definitely going to use this one. - 2/3/09

    I love this recipe. I cut the recipe in half and added fresh squash and zucchini. Then it makes a great vegetable side dish and can be eaten with or without the pasta . - 6/22/08
