I added red and yellow peppers, white button mushrooms, carrots, and baby asparagus in addition to the recipe veggies. Meat was not missed in the least and I found it to be very filling. Did not have wheat germ so used egg substitute. It was not runny and tasted great. Made a second to freeze. :) - 8/3/09

I was very hesitant to make this as I am not a vegetarian. I want to find more great meatless meals to give it a try though and this was fantastic! rich, no need for meat and the veggies make it awesome. I ate this after it was frozen for a few days and I will definitely make again and again! thanks - 1/31/12

I liked this and will make it again. I used whole wheat noodles and added zucchini. I used white button mushrooms and will use portabellas next time for added flavor. I think I'll add more oregano next time. It was fairly simple to prepare, and I appreciate that. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/2/10

This was very good. I ate it tonight for dinner. I added just a little more cheese but other than that followed the recipe and it was great. - 6/27/09

Loved this had a vegetarian coming for dinner and didn't know what to make this hit the spot thanks! I did skip the wheat germ and added nothing to replace, also used ricotta instead of cottage cheese and added soy crumbles to add a little meat like feel. This is a repeat! - 10/9/12

This was very enjoyable. My husband even liked it.I made it with an egg instead of the wheat germ since I didn't have any. It still turned out very well it was not runny at all. I mixed the egg with the cheese mixture as the recipe did not indicate what to mix it in. I cooked the noodles to aldente. - 8/3/12

***** I made this just as it was listed and both my husband and I loved it. I was going to freeze leftover but we ended up eating them for lunch during the week instead. A keeper. - 1/20/11

I left out wheat germ (couldn't afford it), and the mushrooms, and doubled the spinach.... it was quite tasty! But, it was too watery! Next time I will use the wheat germ to absorb the extra liquid. - 7/27/09
