We love this and will make it again! I added veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli and cabbage and then double the sauce portion. I cooked the meat as the recipe says, drained it and in the same pan cooked the veggies adding 2 tbsp of fish oil and salt and pepper. After that was cooked I add - 8/15/16
