Stir in the diced tomatoes and spaghetti sauce, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes on the stove.

While everything is simmering, begin cooking any kind of pasta according to the package directions. I used ditalini pasta for this recipe, but any pasta will work.
