Variations:
I have tried this recipe with soy "beef" crumble as well, and it was just as delicious. This will also knock 10 minutes off the cook time.
Tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes can be used instead of pasta sauce. This will reduce the sweetness level. You may need to simmer for more than 10 minutes to thicken the sauce though.
