I thought this was a really nice side and would also make a wonderful main dish. I thought the sauce was a touch thin so the next time I'll reduce the amount of water I use.

Yum! Everyone in the family from 2 to adult loved this! I didn't have regular tomato sauce, but a store-bought sun dried tomato alfredo, and it turned out really well. I also added 2 cloves of garlic into the onion saute. I will be making this again.

I added garlic, diced whole tomato, fresh cream, mozarella cheese instead of parmesan, pepper, ground beef, and turned this to a 5-stad meal!

I liked this but I also doctored it up a bit. I used chicken stock instead of water and I sauteed garlic and pepper flakes with the onions.

I thought this was ok. It was good, but I've definitely had better versions of it in restaurants. Mine was a little bland and soupy. I used chicken broth instead of water and added fresh garlic, oregano, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley per some of the reviews. I also doubled the cheese to use mine up. We still ended up adding crushed red pepper and garlic bread to give it more flavor. I think diced tomatoes, ground sausage, and basil could be good additions.

I'm glad most reviewers liked/loved this, because I'm in the minority. I thought this was just barely OK. It wasn't anything bad, just - blah. I made it exactly as written. But in my opinion it could definitely stand to be made tastier. Those "6 servings" turned out to be pretty big - it made 9 bowlfuls for me. I don't have kids, but the thought did occur to me that this might be a pretty kid-friendly recipe, for what it's worth. But for me, it didn't impress at all, and I most likely won't make this again.

Could have used more peas and sauce. My dish got dry.

My first husband used to make a similar dish and I make it all the time. However, I add fresh garlic and saute with onions. I add red pepper flakes, oregano and basil. Sometimes I use frozen peas. It's really good, I like it "soupy" with lots of parmesan cheese on top.
