Made this for the first time yeaterday and it is definitely a repeat.
Made the following changes...2 cups of dry pasta instead of a pound, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, simmer the mix for one hour instead of 5 minutes to meld the flavors, don't remove a cup of the sauce and use a dutch oven instead of skillet, and used panko bread crumbs

I agree with another poster, this is a great "base" recipe. Making it as written it needed some extra flavor. Also, there was no way I'd get an extra cup of sauce to set aside for another recipe, I had to use all of it in this recipe. The basic taste was good but it needed a some kick. The second time I made it I added a pinch of red pepper flakes, some Goya adobo seasoning and some Montreal steak seasoning and an extra 14 oz can of tomatoes. Also, I tried using kale instead of zucchini and a Sicilian sausage instead of pepperoni... AND I used a chopped red pepper I had on hand. Four stars for this recipe if made as written...

Quick and Easy recipe. Really good too. My eleven year old loved it, but she did request that next I add more zucchini. Next time I will also add another can of tomatoes (maybe a 14 ounce, the tomatoes that I did add had basil and rosmary in them so I think that added more flavor.

I'm just starting to cook and this turned out great. I am on a low salt diet, so I substituted canned diced no salt added Garlic, Basil and Oregano tomatoes and low sodium bread crumbs it was still delicious. I used all of two 14.5 ounce cans and it was just enough juice. I left out the pepperoni on my portion, but kept it in the remainder. My 1 1/2 year old will love it!

I have to add a new review! This is a good 'base' recipe. In the show she says you can use pepperoni or salami or whatever. Tonight I am using 3 sweet italian sausage links (out of the casings and instead of the canned tomatoes I am using prepared pasta sauce. I also added summer savory (an herb you can get in your grocery store spice rack because we like our Italian food a little more savory. Finally, I topped with parmesan and dried parsley. I can hardly wait to taste the final product! I love the meat sauce already!

Easy and delicious. I made this for my boyfrinend who has the palate of a 10 year old. He liked it so much that he was excited about leftovers.
After reading the reviews I was concerned about dryness so I did not hold back on the juice from the tomatoes and that was a good move. Defininately use the entire contents of the can of tomatoes. The dishwould have been too dry without it. For those who need it saucy I would suggest an additional 14oz can of diced tomatoes.

This dish was extremely dry. It did taste good but too dry. When I make it again, I will add a can of tomato sauce.

Made this for part of our Football Game Day. I would add more juice next time. Everyone liked it, especially the children so this recipe is a keeper. Thanks!

I gave this recipe 4 stars because it was easy to make, didn't cost much, my 12 year old stepson enjoyed it lots and I didn't have much left over... Good sign. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I thought it was a little dry after baking. I will definitely make it again but add something to make it more saucy. Just a little bit. It was close. (=
