How can you describe this as vegetarian when it contains chicken broth?
1/24/2012 02:10:48 PM Report AbuseThis recipe turned out pretty bland, and I even added a little more seasoning than it called for. I plan to remake it with modifications. I'll buy the Italian seasoned diced tomatoes and maybe even add a little spaghetti sauce. Also, some low-fat mozzarella in the mix or lightly sprinkled on top would add some flavor and not too much fat or calories.
