    Very Good
    Very good. I changed it up a little. Didn't have any penne so I used whole wheat rotini. I also used Wishbone Bountifuls Tuscan Romano Basil Dressing ( only 25 cal/2 Tbl) instead of the olive oil. Added roasted green & yellow peppers and tossed in some fresh baby spinach at right before serving. - 6/3/08

    Only reason I wouldn't give this a 5 is because I don't care for tomatoes but my family loved it! - 9/11/07
