I've made this recipe several times through the years. Its very good. You can doctor it up any way you'd like. Like sometimes I add some red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce while its simmering, etc...

I've made this more than a few times, and my whole family loves it. I use mixed italian herbs instead of basil and spaghetti sauce from the jar, but it's absolutely delish!
