    Very Good
    I threw this together in a hurry using stuff I'd scraped from the bottom of my cupboards... threw in some frozen broccoli and used brown rice pasta. The result is something like a healthy version of mostaccioli or a very chunky marinara. Very yummy--thanks for saving me! I will make this again! - 7/21/09

    Fast, easy, and really good! I had to add quite a bit of salt, and I might try again with chicken. - 12/20/08
