Delicious! I used fresh broccoli flowerets. The freshly chopped parsley really gives this a fresh flavor; DO NOT skip it or substitute it! Thanx for a great new meatless pasta recipe. It's a real keeper!

Karamia, this was delicious! Made this for a quick supper - and we loved it! Made as is but used dried parsley... as I ran out of fresh parsley. Thanks Karamia!
