Broccoli Bonanza
"Pasta and veggies, two of my favorite things. This is really quick and tasty. It says that it will serve 6 and thats true if those 6 people are happy with a one cup serving. I serve it with a big green salad, a chicken breast half for each person and crusty bread."

This made a great vegetarian dinner. Soquick and easy! I did find that the taste of the vinegar stood out a bit too much and might try balancing it with some other flavors. This was finished off wonderfully with some parmesan cheese.

Made for a main dish for dinner tonight. Made as directed, though I only used 1 tomato. Very flavorful, and colorful. Made for Cookbook Tag 2011.

What a great vegetable side dish. This would be a great side dish for the upcoming holidays. Quick and easy. Made as directed and I just loved it. Thanks, Annacia!

I really loved this - breadcrumbs and all! It does have an interesting combination of flavors that I enjoy. I made exactly as stated. I love the taste of balsamic vinegar; it's not too overpowering. I will make this again! -
