I love one-skillet dishes like this! I used thin-cut, lean pork chops, and it came out great. My boyfriend inhaled everything on his plate! There was a little too much sauce that I ended having to toss after a few days in the fridge, so I'll cut back on that next time.

I loved this recipe! I'm a big fan of all flavors Mediterranean and a bit of a health nut, so this was perfect. The creaminess of the sauce really satisfied my craving for cheesy, unhealthy pasta after a long day - but no guilt! Even my Midwestern, meat-and-potatoes boyfriend enjoyed it (of course, he wanted some meat on the side next time - such an anti-vegetarian). I sauteed the garlic first, like other reviewers suggested, with red pepper flakes for heat. I also put in some finely diced red bell pepper for some color and a bit of sweetness. Lastly, I stirred in a bunch of thinly-sliced zucchini just until heated through (for a little crunch). Poured it over linguine and chowed down! I'll be keeping this one in my beloved 3-ring-binder for sure.

This is great recipe for the Crock Pot! I signed up for sweet potatoes for our company Thanksgiving lunch without considering how I would provide a hot dish to 40 people. But I found this recipe and thought it would easily convert to the slow cooker - it did! I quadrupled the recipe and probably added a LOT more butter (that can't be a bad thing, right?!). The dish got rave reviews - one of my coworkers nearly hugged me she loved it so much. I just followed the directions, but instead of baking it, I put it all in the slow cooker on high for 3 1/2 hours. Perfect!
