Not sure if the first commenter used enough seasoning but this dish was awesome and extremely easy to cook. I placed it right over the pasta which soaked up the sauce. Mine thickened great and my husband and children asked me to cook this again. Very easy and tasty dish for a busy family. This dish alone made me go try her other recipes.
