Hi....
We had this for dinner last night and it was just great!
I altered the recipe a little...which I have changed already in the recipe....the recipe didn't state what size package of pasta....I used 8-oz. of elbow macaroni (that is plenty!!). It also called for only one 8-oz. can of tomato sauce....that was no way enough! I used two 8-oz. cans.
It was so good that my hubby raved about it...he had two big helpings!!
Enjoy!
