     This is a great recipe! I added garlic and pepper for extra seasoning, and served with fresh parmesan cheese and a few slices of turkeyroni to additional layers of flavor! - 9/24/09

     I too do not eat the white pasta! No nutritional value to it! - 10/15/09

     I would use frozen peas and dried beans instead because cane peas and beans are loaded with salt. But it sound nutritious I would give it four stars. - 8/31/09

     I used edamame instead of peas, because that's what I had on hand. Added a couple of spices and some garlic. Yum! - 2/15/10
