I wish I had read these reviews before serving this to my family. My husband took a bite, quietly rose from the table, and proceeded to scrape his plate into the garbage! 40 years of marriage, that's a first!

The Progresso Starter did not smell good at all when I opened it, and it did not taste any better with the pasta. I am usually pretty open when it comes to food and like almost anything, but this was gross I am sorry to say. :(

Omitted cheese sauce and barbeque. I mixed one can cheddar cheese soup, one can tomato soup and about one cup spaghetti sauce. Added to that basil, italian seasoning, a little garlic blend, meat seasoning, oregano and 1/2 tsp. salt. Blended to meat, onions and peppers, then added rigatoni. My husband was vey happy with it.
