This was very tasty, and bonus: I was able to use a lot of veggies that my garden is overproducing. Left out eggplant, but threw in some green beans. Increased ingredients to 24 oz pasta sauce, 15 oz ricotta, and 10 oz. mozzarella. We all loved it, but only 4 stars because it took a long time to make (2 hrs) and created a lot of dishes.
