"Remenec, are you giving the 5 stars to your recipe? I'm sure that I am not the only one who would appreciate it if the reviews given would be for the recipe as stated."
"This was very good. I used pork sausage, added fresh onions and the zucchini to the skillet to cook it a bit before adding it to the pasta. After the pasta was cooked and drained, I added the tomatoes (Italian), the tomato sauce, the onion soup and Italian seasoning. When the sausage mixture was done, I added it to the pasta and let it simmer a few minutes so the seasonings could combine. It does not need any additional salt. I think it will be even better the second day."
"I will make this again. I added some green pepper, garlic, and Parmesan cheese before serving."
"Loved this recipe!"
"For me, this turned out great, although I made a few adjustments (a lot of people said this turned out bland). Instead of using ground pork, I used country sausage, which brought in a lot of flavor. Also, after sauteing the pork and (red) onions, I deglazed the pan with about a half cup of red wine, and let that simmer for about 5 minutes. Instead of using tomato sauce, I used a generous squirt or two of tomato paste (more concentrated flavor). I added a couple cloves of garlic and chili flakes. Also, I used some left over rigatoni I had on hand instead of penne (which I'm sure didn't make much of a difference). Honestly, it tasted amazing. My mom loved it."
"I thought it tasted bland also,so I ended up adding some minced garlic, basil and oregano. Then I added about a 1/4 cup monterey jack shredded cheese. Next time I make this, I think Im going to add in a chopped green pepper to see if that would add a better flavor."
"I found this to be rather bland and boring. It wasn't bad, but there are way tastier dishes I could make."
"Excellent weekday meal."
"easy...I forgot to purchase tomato sauce and added another can of tomatoes instead."
