This is a great twist to your normal spaghe!! I really loved it, but I love anything with beans in it!! I also added a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce (like Prego, Ragu,etc.). It just made the sauce so much thicker. It didn't seem to me like on can of diced tomatoes would be enough....and the addition of the spaghetti sauce made it just right!
Enjoy!

PEG’S NOTE:
I also added a jar of spaghetti sauce (like Prego, Ragu, etc.) to the mixture. It just didn’t seem like it would be thick enough with just one can of diced tomatoes. I think this really helped because it made it thicker and more like spaghetti.
Enjoy!
