    This was great!! I added a little garlic to the mix and put extra pamesan on top. Served with steamed veggies and garlic bread (I had a lower caloric count for the day, so I splurged)!! Will definitely make this again. Hubby loved it to! - 2/15/08

    Very good. I made my own pasta sauce, using no salt tomato sauce and adding basil and garlic. I also used whole wheat pasta for extra fiber. - 8/18/10

    What kind of red pepper are you using. Please be more specific. There are many kinds of red peppers. I detest Bell Peppers if this is what what used what do you suggest using as a substitute? - 2/16/10

    Wow! So light but filling! Not to mention the flavor and low fat. I had a side salad with light ranch dressing and my total calorie count was 502 and fat 7. Awesome! I am so glad I made enough to last for a couple of days. MUST TRY if you haven't already! - 2/3/08

    Should we not be making the pasta sauce, not using something from a jar. Cooking is about cooking. - 9/14/12

    I don't know if it came out the way it should have. Probably because I didn't follow the directions to the T but it was still pretty good. my dad liked it. :) - 6/3/11
