    This recipe was quick and easy, very tasty too! I didn't use the red pepper flakes because my daughter doesn't like "spicy things," she really enjoyed this dinner. Would definitely make it again. - 4/20/09

    I tweaked this recipe to avoid buying too many groceries...but this still ROCKED. I don't really cook, and this was easy and enjoyable to make. My husband loved it, too. I can't wait to try the "real" recipe. Thank you so much! - 7/4/09
