  1. We enjoyed this very much. I am always looking for low point meals with lots of flavor. Thanks!
     
  2. We really enjoyed this. It's great when you're looking for a low-point meal that's both satisfying and filling. I used extra garlic and basil, and regular crushed tomatoes (instead of low-sodium). I also added salt. Next time I'm going to make sure I have french bread to go with it!
