    Thanks for this recipe. I love homemade. Store bought sauces are too sweet for me and taste bland. My hubby doesn't like vegetarian dishes but this recipe will fool him :). - 2/12/10

    Very Good
    I added zucchini, left out the mushrooms and did not "blend". I like it thick and full of vegetables. - 7/31/12
