    This dish was surprisingly good! I grew up in an Italian household, so holding back on things like garlic & onion made me wonder! It's good just as it's written! You have to have a little of everything to get the full flavor of this dish! - 7/9/09

    Delicious! I changed some of the vegetables to reflect what I had at the time, and it's very versatile that way. I also changed the spices, as I'm not a fan of dill, and included a large tablespoon of sundried tomato pesto, and boiled the pasta with water and vegetable broth for more flavour. - 4/17/11

    The basic recipe is good, but the dill is not. I kept getting this creepy fish vibe. It'll make it hard to eat the leftovers, but I will make the recipe again with some seasoning other than dill. - 5/12/10

    I am confused about the nutritionals though - I looked this up on the Public Health website that they took it from & the nutritionals are different. Cals are 214 on their website? Were the potatoes supposed to be removed in this recipe to get the SP nutritional - 5/27/09
