“This was delicious! I’m glad I read the reviews beforehand, because they were really helpful. I ended up using a whole box of pasta, and increasing the tomato sauce from 8 to 16 oz since so many reviews said it was lacking. I also cooked the pasta separately ” — a cook, 5.0★
“It’s a great one pot meal if you cook it in an oven safe Dutch oven! I’ve made this with Italian sausage and ground beef before. Both are delicious, just add some additional spices like herbs de province to make up for the lack of seasoning in the ground beef.” — a cook, 5.0★
