I intended to make this exactly - but somehow the mozzarella cheese ran low (I had to mix it with reduced far cheddar) - and I figured I might as well use the whole jar of sauce (it was 24 oz) - and I wanted to use up some fresh mushrooms. This was easy and delicious. It was the perfect amount of cheeses (and I'm a cheese lover). and it gave me a chance to try my new rice cooker!
