    This was very good, only made about 1/3 of the size and used a can of tomatoes that I pureed int he food processor(didn't have any spag sauce). It almost reminded me of a veggie lasagna - 7/28/14

    I copied the ingredients from the area where I entered them in so I wouldn't have to re-type them. It is a completely original recipe though.
