Made it and it was so nice and flavourful. The consistency was thick, just how I like it. Next time I won't add lemon juice to see if I prefer it that way. Thanks a lot, looking forward to some kind of burrito/wrap sauce :D

I want to average this between a 3 star (me) and a 5 star (my wife).  My wife (half Carribean) loved it, was so full, liked the tang and enjoyed the smell while I was cooking it.  I admit I struggled with the consistency.   I was pretty sure to have most of the juices evaporate, but. . .maybe on retrospect I could have waited longer.  Some people like a thin pasta sauce tho, but I'm half Italian, my father grew our own tomatoes in a garden and we canned/preserved pasta sauce every August, so it's a high bar to clear.   But it's so delightful to have some pasta and not be totally carbing out.  Thank you!  I'm gonna play with this.

So easy and a great meatless option yet still filling and nutritious! 

Even my kiddos and meat loving husband liked it!

Great high protein low fat substitute for the classic recipe.

This was way easier to make than I expected, thank you. We used it over a vegetable rice medley.
