I would make this again, but I would try a different type of pasta. The dinosaur pasta was a bit too thick for the sauce.

The pasta was a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter period of time to keep it al dente.

The sauce was a little too watery for my liking. I would recommend simmering it for a longer period of time to thicken it up.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This pasta dish is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck in some pureed carrots and zucchini into the sauce and my kids didn't even notice.

This was an easy and delicious meal. I used whole wheat pasta and added some chopped vegetables to the sauce for a healthier version. My family loved it!
