My son loved this recipe and had 2 large helpings. He says that I HAVE to make it again. I thought it was on the bland side and added extra noodles, a can of tomato paste, extra spices to make it taste better. I thought it was better but still needed something. I think I'll try sausage and chicken broth next time like the other reviewers did and see if that helps.

2/3/2012 11:08:19 AM Report AbuseJust made this for the first time and it ws surprisingly yummy for stove top, tomato soup ziti. I did add a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, but that's because I doubled the amount of noodles. I also didn't add the carrots as I didn't have any on hand. My DH loves tomatoes in his italian food and my kids eat alot, so I needed to double the amount of noodles. That said, my DH had 3 large servings. My DD didn't like it too much, but my DS ate it and that says ALOT. He doesn't eat pasta.
