HATED this recipe. By the time your sauce thickens the pasta begins to stick to the pot. I was never able to get the sauce as thick as it should have been. Consistency wasn’t pretty and it didn’t taste concentrated enough. Pasta was also overlooked, despite using whole wheat pasta that has a longer cooking time. Absolutely would not make this recipe again (and threw out the leftovers).
