I used whole canned tomatoes and chopped them up so I wasn't sure how runny the sauce was supposed to be. I put mostly the tomatoes over the pasta, doubled the meat and the garlic. I also poured a thin layer of jarred spaghetti sauce with meat flavor over the top of the pasta so it wouldn't dry out. I topped it with tons of cheese for the last 10 minutes and in the end it was super tasty!!!! We all enjoyed it though my husband did ask why we don't just start buying Hamburger Helper. :P

Absolutely delicious! I had to improvise on a few ingredients but the overall flavor was fantastic!

I received so many compliments for this dish...it is definitely my potluck recipe! **I did use 3 kiwi instead of 2 and doubled the canned mandarins (mine were larger segments than typical mandarin oranges and I thought the kiwi got lost in the other ingredients. I contemplated doubling the pineapple too, but didn't.
