Added sliced canned artichokes to the sauce at the end and only had dried basil on hand. Angel hair pasta worked well.

EXCELLENT!!! I had a vegetarian friend over for dinner and it was the perfect solution Easy to make, its a hearty meal and inexpensive. I also like the ingredients are all things you would normally have in the house. I also added sauteed zucchini to our meal and served it with a caeaser salad and toasted garlic rolls.

Very tasty and easy to make! I added the chicken with the tomatoes. No need to go out for supper, I can cook better at home!

This was quite good, however I used canned tomatoes and wouldn't again. Would definitely stick with fresh. Also added chicken but would leave that out for a good, inexpensive meal on the weekdays.

My family loves this recipe. I use fresh (not cooked) chicken...increase the dressing to 1/2 cup & saute the chicken in the dressing before adding the tomatoes. I mix the shredded cheese in about 1-2 minutes before removing from the heat; toss everything together; and top each serving with grated parmesan cheese. Great reheated the next day as leftovers too.
