     I used summer squash, zucchini, baby heirloom tomatoes and onion - yum! I added some red pepper flakes to the oil at the start to add some zing. - 8/16/10

     Maybe if I had cooked it in wine or added marinara it would have had more flavor? Or perhaps I'm a stickler for red sauce on my pasta. I love the veggies, and it gave me a chance to try goat cheese. - 8/12/10

     This recipe really excited me because I am a huge fan of goat cheese! When cooking it, I actually might've overdone it on the goat cheese but man was it tasty! - 7/7/10

     We used our own garden veggies; about the only difference was green beans instead of mushrooms. The flavor was delicate but not bland; a good combination that allows the capricorn to shine through. - 8/4/09

     What is the reserved water used for? I added about a tablespoon and a half of italian seasoning. It helped but I think it still needs something.....love the goat cheese though! - 7/27/09

     Fantastic - very easy to prepare! Great variety of vegetables and not too high in fat for a cheesy dish. - 7/13/07

     Boy oh boy does this sound good - not the lowest-ever fat, because of the goats cheese, but it sounds gorgeous all the same. Incidentally, the author might like to know that you spell it 'Primavera'. :) - 3/17/07
