There are many variations of this dish. I made this one up because I really didn't know how to make it lol. It doesn't call for meat and the pasta sauce can be your own, or any jar sauce. When I don't have my own on hand, I use Rao's Marinara. This will be soupy when you first make it. Serve with crusty Italian bread. It thickens up nicely by the next day.
