    Fantastic! Fresh and wonderfully tasty. My modifications were:
    * Spelt pasta (REALLY good stuff!)
    * Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Thai Dressing ('cos I had some)
    * Dried crushed mint leaves (could find no basil!) - 10/2/09

    I substituted green bell peppers for the spinach, I am allergic to spinach. - 9/12/09
