horrible
There is a major problem with this recipe - the ingredients dont fit into a skillet. I had to transfer them to a large pot. I thought it was weird that it called for uncooked pasta but I followed the recipe regardless. It would not cook. I dont know if this was because I had to use a larger pot instead of a skillet, but I had to keep adding water and turn up the heat just to get the pasta to be acceptable. It ended up being so bland and tasteless. We added a bunch of salt and pepper, and even threw in some tabasco sauce. That helped bring out the flavor a bit but it was still seriously lacking. Other than not cooking it in a skillet and adding more water (you cant cook dry pasta in pasta sauce and ground beef) I didnt deviate from the recipe at all. I wont make this one again

Easy and fast
I made this for the family the other night and it was a winner. Hubby liked it, it is kid-friendly even for my picky toddlers, and it was a very easy and fast mid-week meal. I substituted lean ground turkey and used Barilla Plus Penne Pasta but otherwise followed the recipe. Its a basic spaghetti and meat sauce recipe, but easier and less cleanup than doing the pasta and sauce separately. I will be making this again.

YUM!
I tried this recipe last night. It was wonderful! Even my kids liked it! I did substitute a few things in the receipe though. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and whole wheat noodles instead of regular noodles. Everything else was the same though. This one is a keeper!

quick & tasty
This recipie was very tasty and very quick and easy. Great for mid-week. However it could really use a veggie for more nutrition. Next time, I am going to ad some mushrooms and frozen peas

Tasty
This recipe was tasty. It was basically like spaghetti cooked in a skillet, but the whole family enjoyed it nonetheless!
