    Incredible!
    I used summer squash, zucchini, baby heirloom tomatoes and onion - yum! I added some red pepper flakes to the oil at the start to add some zing. - 8/16/10

    Maybe if I had cooked it in wine or added marinara it would have had more flavor? Or perhaps I'm a stickler for red sauce on my pasta. I love the veggies, and it gave me a chance to try goat cheese. - 8/12/10

    This recipe really excited me because I am a huge fan of goat cheese! When cooking it, I actually might've overdone it on the goat cheese but man was it tasty! - 7/7/10

    Incredible!
    We used our own garden veggies; about the only difference was green beans instead of mushrooms. The flavor was delicate but not bland; a good combination that allows the capricorn to shine through. - 8/4/09
