Made this last night for dinner to go with Recipe#359088#359088 and it made for an easy and filling meal. I made as directed and added a little more parmesan and roasted garlic (had some I had made) and YUMMO! Will made this again. Thank you. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.

I was surprised by how much flavor this had. The ingredients are simple, but come together very well. I just wish my kids would let me put in more veggies besides just peas and carrots.

Thank you for sharing this easy, yummy dish. I love how quick it was to prepare yet it looked beautiful on the plate and tasted as good as anything you would have at Olive Garden. My family enjoyed the slightly buttery noodles with cheese and loads of veggies. I did use frozen veggies and whole grain wheat (organic) pasta which made the meal very nutritious too. Recommended!
