I rated this a 4, but it won't be a 4 until its made with good old fashioned homemade spaghetti sauce (Grandma Debbie's!). I didn't care much for the Classico version I bought for this batch. It was ok, but could be better.

Everyone ate this (which i can't say about everything). Lee loved it, Johann tollerated it and I thought the sauce was just a little bit too sweet. Overall it was successful. I like that the veggie is integrated into the dish!

Not sure what happened this time around...whether it was the sauce or the sugar that you add or a combo, but this was way too sweet. Didn't pass muster over here. Need a not sweet sauce for this recipe or need to eliminate the sugar.
