Pretty good. Easy to make and a lot of fun to modify. Even our picky teenager liked it.

Super easy to make, great way to use up the tomatoes. Tasted a little bland so I added more garlic, a pinch of oregano and black pepper. Hubby liked it and I am soon going to try it out on the grandkids.

I think it''s nice and healthy, but I read the warning of lack of taste and proceeded to give it a little flavour adding fried bacon. It gives a nice taste.
