Cook's notes: I, being lactose intolerant, did not use the cheese and it was still great. I also ended up cooking it a bit longer (while waiting for the pasta to finish) and did not add the hot sauce. Oh, and I used 16oz of pasta (this was for a pot-luck, after all ;) instead of 8. I did find it needed a bit of pepper and a touch of salt (probably because I used no-sodium added tomato sauce and not low-sodium sauce). It got very good reviews from the crowd at the pot-luck and I'd make it again.
