Really quick & easy for a week night dinner. Everyone in my family loved it. I did as someone suggested and let the liquid simmer away, then added the cheese.

I have made this recipe many times. My family loves it. I use Hot Italian Sausage and I squeeze it out of the casing into little sausage meatballs. Delicious!

I have made this several times now and my family just loves it. It's easy to make with simple ingredients that I always seem to have on hand. I've made the recipe as is with the exception of letting it simmer longer once the tomatoes were added. I found that this helped reduce the liquid and infuse the flavors even more. A terrific weeknight meal!

Delicious, and makes enough to feed a small army. BUT because of all the extra liquid floating around from the tomatoes and the peppers, adding cheese to this just got weird. Skip the cheese blend and just top with Parmesan.

Wonderful easy and delicious meal. If the sauce is too dry, then save the starchy water from the pasta. Have already send recipe to family and friends. We love it.

I made this recipe for supper with only a few minor changes, mainly to the texture of items cooked. I also used my wife's tomatoes that she canned last year and added some Italian seasoning from our Italian herb grinder. This recipe is awsome.

The basis is there but you need to add so much more ....garlic, diced onion, large can diced tomatoes, plus some tomato paste, basil, thyme, oregano pinch of sugar etc. It's just too bland as is.
