This was the best sloppy joe recipe I have tried in years!!! It was the right combination of sweetness and savory. I followed the recipe almost perfectly except I used fresh garlic and sauteed the celery, onion and garlic with the hamburg to save time. Thank you so much for sharing!

I had some grape tomatoes to use up and so I did a search for "pasta and tomatoes", and this wonderful recipe was amoungst my choices. I must I chose well. This was delicious!!!! Other than using chicken broth instead of veggie and using grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, made it as called for. My husband and I ate all of it!!!!

Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful recipe. For years I have made my pastry crust with just shortening and it was very good--flaky, pesentable but not as flavorable as those made with butter. But this recipe is everything a pastry crust should be--flaky, delicious and beautiful. I have been making it with 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 K.A. unbleached all-purpose flour as I did not have cake flour on hand and I used a little bit less water. But other than those minor changes, I followed the recipe exactly with great success. Right now, I have just made a double batch to do some English baking--treacle tart, and lemon and raspberry tarts. This pastry is just perfect for these!!! Again, I thank you for sharing!!
