This ca..." See moren be made into a supreme pizza with chopped olives, peppers, onion, and mushrooms. This never fails to disappear off of my table and the leftovers rewarm well."

"This was good...but I revised it. I decided to add my favorite pizza toppings, mushrooms, black olives, green pepper. I also used a different sauce, just my personal favorite brand. Added about a cup ..." See moremore sauce as well. Sauteed the onions, mushrooms and peppers in a little olive oil with minced garlic. Turned out pretty great, served with garlic bread and salad"

I added some italian seasoning to the sauce before I added the pasta and cooked it for 15 minutes because I had half the amount of cheese and didnt want the egg noodles to get mushy. It had SO much flavor. I will definately make again."
