Fast. Simple. Decent. Not great, but good. I would double the vegetables. I used julienned zucchini, carrots, and onions.

My roommate and I LOVED this. We switched around some of the veggies to our own taste, and used a little more peanut butter than the recipe called for, but it is now one of our favorite dishes. Brought some to work in a tupperware for lunch the next day, and now everyone is asking me for the recipe!

This is a good tasting recipe. Used thin spaghetti and followed the instructions. Easy to make. Thought it needed more sauce though. It was somewhat dry. Will make again.

This was OUTSTANDING. My DS shovelled it in! Very easy to make. I used organic peanut butter and it worked out just fine. I used chives and welsh onions from the garden and cooked up some carrots to shred and added frozen peas. Excellent recipe!
