     This is really delicious. Just right the way it's written. I didn't have to add any other flavors to enhance it. - 9/12/09

     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

     I really enjoyed this. I doubled the recipe and ate it as pasta salad the next day, then I added some vegetable broth and Mango Chipoltle spice and had a spicy soup the third day, very nice. I will definitely make this again and again. - 3/20/14

     My family loved this recipe. We added some grilled chicken,
    and covered almost all the food groups. - 4/25/12
  • CTHOMPSON085
     I didn't have high hopes at first but it's really good, not very heavy, but still fills you. I loved it! Probably would be a five star with some meat and parmesan cheese added. - 8/25/11

     A nice change for vegetables. - 4/26/11
  • PARISBABY
     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
  • DABURRIS
     We loved this! We added chicken for some extra protein, but it was very flavorful! - 4/12/11

  • GROWINGFAITH
     Delicious! The parmesian cheese enhanced the flavor. I made enough to get several meals out of it. - 1/23/11
  • SOBLONDED
     I enjoyed this very much!!! Didn't add potatoes, but used zuchinni and squash instead. Really good!!!! Thanks - 10/10/10
  • RAVENAINGEAL
     I loved this dish! It was easy and yummy. I added a tablespoon of parm to the top as it was an extra in my dinner and it tasted even better, but was great on it's own. :) Kids loved it too! - 7/8/10
  • TWINBUBBAS
     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
  • B12UNITED
     This was delicious and easy! Cooked enough pasta for spaghetti sauce and I had mine with the vegetables. Family tried mine and enjoyed it too! - 2/22/10
  • ANDYTHEALIEN
     Very good. I used sea salt instead of regular salt for a bit of extra flavour. - 1/4/10
