This was excellent! The method for cooking the vegetables and then adding the pasta is one that I will use since it works out so well. I used lantern shaped pasta and chopped up broccoli and fresh mushrooms for the vegetables, which I doubled. I love meatless meals and this was a perfect choice! Thanks so much for posting!!

Simple and wonderful!! I used linguine and added Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp (Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp) on top and me and my pregnant significant other couldn't stop eating it! For the vegetables, I used frozen mixed vegetables and the recipe come out perfect. Thank you John for a great recipe!!
