I love this recipe but found it , like others a bit bland.
In the futur, i think i will minimize the pasta a bit , add chopped red and green peppers, a chopped onion, up the garlic to 2 or 3 cloves and change the sauce to be 1/2 cup of spaghetti and 1/2 cup of medium salsa to spike it up a bit. - 5/5/11
