I also have made this 3 times since the magazine came out and my husband and I enjoyed it. I didn't use the mace, but added italian spices. I loved how it was all done in one pot and complete in about 30 min.

Great for my family of 4. Made it without the mace. Still had a wonderful taste. Will make again.

I made a few changes. I added a chopped bell pepper and onion at the same time that I added the mushrooms. I also added basil, oregano, and parsley when I added the rest of the seasonings. I have made it twice now, and everyone has loved it! :)

I didn't use allspice or mace. Used Italian seasoning. It was missing something.

I have made this 3 times since the recipe came out in the magazine. I tried the allspice twice and this last time used basil and oregano. We liked both ways. Definitely a keeper!!

My daughter made this and raved about it. Said best spaghetti ever for a quick good meal. Will make many times. I am going to make it also.

WOW! My other half hates multigrain pasta but he loved this recipe. I did make some significant changes. I used hot and spicy V-8 instead of the tomato juice (that?s what I had on hand). Instead of the mace, I substituted cinnamon but a scant 1/8 teaspoon and I added ½ of a chopped green pepper. FYI - Substitutes for mace are: Allspice; cinnamon; ginger; or nutmeg.

I did not have allspice or mace so just left those out. My husband and I enjoyed this recipe. Will definitely make again.
