Very easy to make, no complaints from anyone at the dinner table. Super kid-friendly, and I used whole wheat pasta as a tiny nod to healthy eating. Will definitely make this again.

Love this recipe, started making this with Hunt's sauce years back and then finally learned how to make my own sauce, but on lazy nights when the kids come for a visit I make this tried and true classic and everyone loves it.
