I agree, this was very good. It made too much since it is just the two of us so I will probably use only one jar of sauce the next time. I also used fresh bagged spinach and will probably use only half the bag. Thanks for the great recipe.

I know that the ingregients don't sound fantastic together, but it really does work. My kids loved it too! I was really concerned when I got a whiff of the opened can of Classico Aldredo, but once all ingredients are combined it makes a great meal. With the spinach and tomatoes I don't even make a veggie to go along side this. A big hit for the whole family, I recommend this one!

This recipe was quite good. My husband and kids liked it alot. I think next time I will try a different sauce, perhaps the roasted garlic one, as I didn't really like the aftertaste of the sundried tomato one. Just a personal preference, though, this recipe is definitely worth making again and again.

Wow! This was GOOD! It's amazing what can become of sauce in a jar! It had a 100% homemade taste too! I will never tell anyone that it came from jars and cans! Spectacular!
