Notes

This had excellent flavor. My one comment is that you might want to experiment with using less pasta, or mixing pasta individually based on amount of sauce preferred. For us, it didn't quite have enough sauce. But it was still delicious, and a good way to sneak in some whole grains without giving up flavor.
