Introduction

I love this as my main dish but you can add some grilled chicken if you just can't live without meat! It makes great leftovers to take to work for lunch too.

    A little bland, so added a teaspoon dried organo, zest of one lemon and some red chili flakes (mediterranian flavors now..). Serve with a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors and you won't miss the parmesan! - 5/15/09

    Loved this recipe. Had leftovers for lunch :o) Made minor changes canned tomatoes instead of fresh and fresh spinach instead of frozen. Used whole wheat rotini pasta... Delish. Will definately make again - 2/26/10

    I made this and sprinkled on about 1oz of Feta while on each plate is was still warm enough to heat the cheese perfectly. I used Olive oil and Whole Wheat Spaghetti as I had it left over. Still great can't wait to try it with all kinds of pasta. - 4/3/08

    I make this all the time, and love it. I usually add chicken, but shrimp is great too. And I personally add shredded parmesan or romano cheese, and skip the oil. But it's fast, easy, and has almost all the major food groups. (It's only missing the chocolate.) - 4/3/08

    Good, but a little bland. Pine nuts would be good with it. Also, I am not a mushroom fan so I added artichoke hearts. I think the artichoke hearts were my favorite part! - 1/26/10
