Followed the recipe with the exception of using dried marjoram. Overall, it was a good dish. Made it with 'My Mother's Tomato Sauce' like it called for. Would probably use sauce in a jar next time as the 'home made' has no more flavour than the jar'ed stuff.
really good, but the tomato souce is time consuming, so I'd make a big batch next time. would also add more seasoning
These went over very well in my house, especially with my 2 year old.
