Quite good - simple and satisfying. I did add some balsamic to the pan at the end of cooking, just for a little extra flavor. Thanks for providing WW points too!

Great dinner! Thought I had some cherry tomatoes... but didn't... so used some fresh garden tomatoes. Used whole-wheat spaghetti and grated some fresh parmesan on top. Delicious and healthy!! Thanks ellie for sharing!

A nice side dish, or for me, a main meal! I used whole wheat spaghetti, and cut up plum tomatoes. My DH enjoyed this too! Thanks!
