Waste of ingredients. At 2 hrs, rotini was totally mushed out and vegies were still crunchy. (onions & green peppers) Tomato/pizza sauce did not seem to blend well with rest of ingredients.

Excellent flavor! I was impressed by how much this made. After us five got through with this meal we too had a little bit for leftovers. I checked the pasta at 1 hour but they were not done. Checked at 1 1/2 hours and pasta was close to being done. At exactly 2 hours we tried this dish, the noodles were cooked but seemed gummy. I went back for seconds after letting the dish set for a while and the pasta was good but still gummy. Still went back though for leftovers the next day for the flavor it sooo good! Thank you for posting.
