I just made this tonight with a little help from my four year old. It was so yummy that even he and his sister ate it and she is very picky! Thanks for a great recipe. In my recipe I already had two large cans of tomato sauce at home so I used them instead of the ones listed in the recipe. Great for our family.

I love almost every thing I have seen you make . The only thing that didnt make it was dishes made with bannas . Cant eat them . The people who have come out with the bad talk about the food you have made even befor or after the diabetes came out I feel that you have gotten a raw deal from people who ( dont) know how to think almost any recipes can be done to fit any life style . It makes me mad to here some people take down your food . I say keep on cooking and doing it your way . You are one of the greates . cooks out there . Your bigest fan . Deborah

I loved this recipe and made it for a fund raiser at work. Boy did I get lots of great comments. I did add 4oz of cream cheese just before serving and it made it even more rich and creamy.

Absolutely magnificent! I have made this twice now. I made it just yesterday and had a friend over. She loved it. I freeze it in separate containers without the mozzarella cheese. When I am ready to eat I thaw one container and heat in oven and then add the mozzarella on top. I even make the custini's. I would love to submit a picture but there is no provision for it.
