great meal

This came out really good. My husband and 7 year old both really liked it, eventhough my husband wishes it had meat. But the kidney beans add a nice texture and taste in place of no meat. I ended up using regular red kidney beans and it was good.

This recipe was deliciou! I did leave out the artichokes because none of us are overly fond of them. I would recommend a flavored pasta sauce.
