I don't prefer writing bad reviews but this dish is a terrible waste of good food. The presentation is terrible due to the cottage cheese & the flavor amounts to almost nothing. I had half a serving & tossed the rest in the garbage disposal. I made it because the reviews were very good & it did sound interesting. I would suggest you save the noodles for alfredo sauce, the onions & peppers for a salad, the cottage cheese to mix with some pineapple & the yogurt for an afternoon snack. I wish I had.

Terrific! I loved how this was loaded with onions and peppers. I use both red and green bell pepper for added color. As a previous reviewer mentioned, there is no yogurt mentioned in the ingredients, but it's in the directions. I just added about 1/4 of fat free yogurt. I enjoyed this very much and will make this again. Thanx!

This dish was very simple to make and full of flavor. The directions were clear and concise with one exception. No mention is made of yogurt in the ingredients list but in Line 4 yogurt is mentioned. Since the addition of yogurt would only improve the dish I hope can be addedd to the ingredients. Also, I added a tablespoon of ricotta cheese since I had some handy.
