This was really good! My youngest daughter even said "it smells just like the jarred stuff". The whole family liked it. I substituted 1 1/2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese instead of the prepared cheese sauce and also added an extra clove of garlic (garlic lovers here). The only complaint? There wasn't more! I will definitely make this again but will double or triple the recipe. - 26 Aug 2001 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I tripled up this recipe, but used 1 part tomato paste for every 3 parts sauce to make it a little thicker. I also used an extra clove of garlic, some garlic powder, basil, and a bay leaf. The recipe by itself isn't outstanding, but it puts you right at the point where you can do some fun things tailored to your own taste. - 21 Feb 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was really good. I added zucchini, mushrooms and beef. The beef really sucked up the juices, I would maybe add a little more water and tomato paste if adding beef. Great flavor, recommended! - 10 May 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
