    Very Good
    This was really good and fairly simple to make. We used spinach fettuccine. I'll try whole grain fettuccine next time. - 12/5/11

    Good
    This was good but not 5 stars good...a little bland and kinda dried out..I used w/w fettuccine so maybe that had an effect..and I used 1 c of parmigiano-reggiano cheese so maybe that might have had a drying effect. I will pour a little low fat chicken broth over the left-overs before I reheat. - 7/16/09
