My husband calls me an aerobic cook because I can make this Italian dish in just 30 minutes. No one will accuse you of cutting corners. It tastes like it's been simmering deliciously for hours.

This dish was good but needed something to give it a litle zip. Next time I'll try the above suggestions with red pepper flakes and pepper.

Delicious! The depth and flavor of the sauce was amazing.It was a hit with my husband and 5 year old son. I added crushed red pepper flakes, fresh ground pepper and some sugar to the sauce. I tossed the penne with some butter, fresh minced parsley and Parmesan cheese before mixing in the sauce. I also let the sauce simmer for about a half hour while I got the garlic bread made. This is a wonderful and tasty recipe!
