PROS

It’s also versatile and can be used with any type of pasta.

The parmesan cheese adds a rich and savory flavor to the sauce.

CONS

This sauce is relatively high in sodium due to the bouillon cubes used.
If you’re watching your salt intake, you may want to use low-sodium bouillon cubes or omit them altogether.

Some may prefer a thicker sauce, in which case you could use less tomato juice or simmer the sauce for a longer period of time to allow it to thicken.
