I believe one could use italian flavored bread crumbs in place of the plain and eliminate the italian seasoning if not available. This sounds really good and passing it along to others.

I'm sure this would taste just as good heated again as a left-over, but there was nothing left over! My entire family enjoyed this! (bread crumbs didn't last through the sauce, became mushy but still tasted great)
