    Pretty good. I had yellow and green peppers, so that is what I used. The red and orange might be better and lookprettier. I used 1 T. olive oil and added 1/2 tsp olive oil to my tracker. - 11/22/09

    Smelled wierd while cooking - maybe b/c I used canned mushrooms? Beautiful, colorful dish, but a little smelly. Added garlic powder, which helped. However, it tasted fine and a good alternative to alfredo sauce. I'd make it again in a pinch, but not one of my favorites. - 11/17/07
