    Obviously, the pasta needs to be drained after it's cooked in the 4 cups sauce PLUS 2 cups water. Seems like a waste of sauce.

      I, like my Grand mother could never understand putting all of the, extra starch and salt into a sauce, especially store bought! If wanting to thicken it, just let it reduce, to thin, add homemade stock! All of the extra salt...please just put the cellar on the table!! Don't forget the EVOO! Thanx!raf

    This was great! My family loved it. It was so easy to make. I used Barilla tomato sauce, and you would never know that the sauce was not homemade.

    My husband said it tasted like 'the stuff that comes in the can'. Obviously won't be making this again although I found it acceptable and very easy to make. Actually I prefer a lot of other pasta dishes over this one.

    Good! Definitely results in a saucy pasta dish - similar to how it is pictured - but was not soupy in any way. I used farfalle pasta because I was unable to find the paparadelle and the farfalle pasta took much longer to cook than I expected - double the time it would have cooked in plain boiling water, so not a time saver for me - plus using almost an entire bottle of sauce (I halved the recipe with success) when I normally would use maybe a quarter of it for a simple pasta & sauce dish.

    Perfect recipe. Have made this several times and it is so divine in its simplicity. Delicate noodles like papardelle are perfect when prepared in this way. Absolutely not a waste of sauce if prepared correctly. The pasta absorbs the excess moisture.
