on 3/12/2007 Is this for real? A pasta recipe using a jar of crap sauce full of chemicals, preservatives and flavour enhancers? Have you no idea at all how the Italians cook? It sure isn't like this...

on 12/10/2006 I HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST THE RECIPE! there is a holographic tortellini stain on my brand new business casual sweater. I am pressing charges against Italy.
