Hard to believe this is low calorie!! Very delicious. Next time I will be even more generous with the veggies (this time I added sliced fresh mushrooms which worked well) because I had extra sauce. I would also add more garlic and fresh grated ginger to the sauce. Will surely be repeated. thanks!

Absolutely delicious! I used a whole wheat rotini instead of linguine and added an additional clove of garlic. The sauce for this recipe is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this great recipe, Beautiful BC. I can't wait to make it for my mom! :)

Really good recipe! I left out the green onions b/c I couldn't find any, and was generous with the broccoli and pasta, but otherwise I followed it to the letter. Very tasty and easy to make. Looking forward to doing it again!
