The recipe calls for Pasta,you can up the fiber intake with whole-wheat pasta!

This recipe is just delicious. My oldest daughter requests it often. I often substitute a can of diced tomatoes for the sundried tomatoes and it is just as yummy.

I thought 1 lb of spaghetti was too much. The next time I make this dish, I'm going to try 12 ounces instead. Otherwise, we loved the flavors of this dish! I used whole wheat instead of all-purpose flour and whole wheat pasta.

This was excellent! I used whole wheat pasta as well. Reminded me of something I might order at a fancy Italian restaurant.

Very yummy! The sauce is delicious. I substituted whole wheat spaghetti in order to increase the amount of fiber.

This was actually better the second day (rare for a pasta dish in my opinion). The pasta soaked up all of the wonderful flavor - wonderful as a lunch treat!
