An interesting twist - nice and creamy. When I went back in to the kitchen to put away leftovers, there was none left! I did add about a tsp of Italian saeaoning but otherwise made no other changes.

Very good! Although after reading the ratings I have to admit that I added salt, pepper, and Chef Prudhomme's Herbal Pizza & Pasta Magic seasoning blend.

Loved it! I liked having a healthy alternative to traditional spaghetti & it was soooo worth it.

I thought it definitely needs some salt, at least. My husband and 2 kids really enjoyed it. It's different from the sauce I usually make.
