Very good. I used 1LB of ground turkey instead of 2LBS of ground beef. I also substituted 1 can of crushed tomatoes. I cooked the pasta on the stove. Very good! My husband and friend loved it.

Very hearty meal, very satisfying meal! I cooked this on low, for about 7 1/2 hours on low and added the Ditalini pasta for 30 minutes, changed setting to high. Next time I would cook pasta on stove and add it to soup upon serving, because of thickening of broth. But the taste was wonderful! Great recipe and tastes just like the real thing!

Great! This is my husband's favourite at the Olive Garden! I did substitute 1 can crushed tomatoes instead of both cans diced tomatoes and I used v8 vegetable juice instead of the spaghetti sauce. Added cooked pasta just before serving. I served my homemade buns Homemade Buns shaped into breadsticks and brushed them with garlic butter for a real "Olive Garden" Meal!
