Introduction

My kids love this! Great served over brown rice. You can also double the sauce and add a bunch of broccoli as well. My kids love this! Great served over brown rice. You can also double the sauce and add a bunch of broccoli as well.

    use half the amount of red pepper flakes. serve over rice and perhaps add some mushrooms and brocoli to the sauce while heating it through. - 10/20/10
