    This was easy to make, incredibly tasty and easy to tailor to your family/personal tastes. HIGHLY recommended! (blue rats not necessary for preparation *winks*) - 10/8/08

    Delicous! The only change I made was I halved the oil. I got six one cup servings out of this dish and it was very tasty. Thank you for sharing! - 3/31/08

    I made this classic dish using fresh vegetables from our local farmers' market, 1 can S&W Italian recipe tomatoes, 1 can S&W white kidney beans 'cannelini', and a sprinkling of Italian blend seasoning instead of a bay leaf--topped with shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese --- magnifico! A keeper! - 8/10/09

    I made this and it was great. Left out the sugar. Ate it plain without rice and grated a little bit of parmesan cheese on top. - 5/12/08

    I didn't add the beans or serve over rice. I added some grated parmasian cheese and some left over potatoes. It was very good and easy to make. - 9/29/07
