Really delicious. Make sure you use a flavorful tomato sauce, and it’s heaven. Might even consider adding mozzarella balls on top next time 🙂

Easy to make with lots of flavor! Goes great with thinly breaded chicken breasts or breaded pork chops. Even taste good leftover. This is a recipe in my regular rotation!!

This was an awesome recipe! I added mushroom and sausage to the sauce and it was amazing. Very quick and easy. Hardest part of the whole thing was cutting onion and garlic. Easy and delicious!
