I liked this although not much of a fan of tomato based sauces. I actually used some leftover pizza sauce I had on hand. My daughter loved this dish.

I like pizza sauces as well – I think it’s the higher content of tomato paste which makes a richer sauce. You might get the same result for less money by keeping some tomato paste on hand – I have some in a tube (in the refrigerator) which seems to last longer than the canned version. Thanks for the feedback!
