The house is smelling up nicely as this dish has another 20mins to go, with the lid off. I chopped up several (more than 5) cloves of garlic and added to the sauce, also adding a small amount of water to the sauce. Maybe a cup total. I used a 42 ounce jar of simple sauce and added fresh basil mushrooms and italian seasoning to it, and simmered it on the stove for a bit. I am not sure why people give this recipe a poor review when the already written reviews are stating to add more water. This is a great recipe idea... no layering of sauce, noodles, ricotta, sauce, noodles, ricotta - because the raviolis already contain enough ricotta. However, if you have the time, you can sprinkle a handful of mozz, or what have you, between layers. I recommend par-boiling the raviolis before preparing the dish. 30mins later: Fantastic! This was a really yummy meal - easy to make and a bit hit with everyone. A 13x9 will feed at least 8-10 people, especially if you include garlic bread and salad! We (2 of us) barely put a dent in it. It will be great for leftovers and lunches for my man. Thanks for sharing!

This soup was very satisfying! I followed the recipe to the T but you could change it up and add garlic or substitute the meat for anything that sounds good to you!

I know if you are skeptical like me, this recipe doesn't really "sound" all that fabulous. However - I made this for my husband last night and he absolutely devoured it! I made green beans with bacon and onion, let this cook down and also made mashed potatoes and gravy. A very simple American meal and it was so delicious. I adjusted the recipe to make 8 servings so we'd have leftovers, because who doesn't like a meatloaf sammie the next day? My husband does and he just sent me a text that the meatloaf is delicious! I didn't swap anything out, add anything, and followed the recipe to the specifications. Highly recommended!
