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.
