I started the 1 bag 5 dinners recently and I started with this recipe..I am Italian and love to make home made sauces but they normally require being in the kitchen all day..this is by far one of the best I have ever tasted!!! I will be making it again, when I need a quick and easy sauce.

Super easy to make. Receipe probably could feed 4 so next time I would make more & freeze 1/2 the sauce. Great with 5 cheese garlic toast so if eating for 2 could use the toast for two dinners/lunches.

I have made a lot of bolognese sauces over the years including some that take several hours of cooking. This one is the absolute best of the quick sauces that I have tried. Fabulous!

Excellent recipe. Easy to make and taste awesome. The Cream Cheese adds a very creamy rich taste but not overpowering. My husband and I both loved it. My husband said this was one to add to the new recipe binder I am making for healthy eating.

This was a fabulous recipe. My family loved it, and I will make it again. The only other thing I added was a little Italian seasoning. Great!

I have made this many times. My family loves it, and if it impresses my husband it has to be good. Tonight I made it with 1 lb Ground Turkey and 1 lb of sausage for the first time, and my husband and son both had seconds. I love this recipe, I do not use store bought sauce anymore.

Well, I have 3 "funny eaters" in my home. I made this and they LOVED it!! However, I had to add more salt for flavor and a little garlic powder for taste. Other than that It came out great!!! I made a green salad and bought some garlic bread from the local pizza parlor. I will definetly make this again!
