“The taste was great, but this recipe is labor intensive. I should have know with 11 steps and at least 5 pots and pans involved. It took me way longer than 20 minutes to prep and 40 minutes to prepare. I needed to enlist my partner for help to keep everything ” — a cook
“This was pretty good. It’s not earth shattering because it is pasta and red sauce after all, BUT it’s definitely a major step up from plain red sauce and pasta AND it has the added bonus of hidden veggies in the sauce. My only complaint is that it’s a bit spic” — a cook
