I disregarded the first review and tried this. It was great. Like other I made several modifications. Added more garlic and other spices that we like. Also, i used the veggies i had on hand (fresh zuchini, carrots and sweet pepers). I'm not a big fan of boiling my veggies so i sauteed them while i was cooking the pasta. A quick mix of everything together and it was a lovely, quick and tasty dish. Very colorful as well!

I too, adapted this recipe to my taste. I used whatever vegetables I had left over or in the house. I even threw in some frozen peas and corn. I used 3 gloves a garlic and a large onion. I used more spices than the recipe called for. More salt, pepper, basil. I used colby, jack and cheedar cheeses because that is what I had on hand. My family loved it! No one noticed it was a meatless meal.

This was a good recipe. My husband and I often eat meatless meals and this one was well liked by both of us. I am going to make it again in the future but I will be adding more and different spices. I think it has a lot of potential, but it needs some minor adjustments.

I would agree with most of the others...BLAND! and dry. I will try it again, but with several modification to make it more creamy, and with bit more flavor.

This was so, so bland!! My husband and I tried added more salt/pepper, little more basil, etc., but nothing really helped. We did agree that this was a good 'base' to be added too but is not very good as is.

Sort of bland, but made it better by adding 3x the broccoli called for and by adding some canned turkey.

Needs some flavor. I suggest adding more cheese to the sauce.

I have to admit I was worried until I took a bite. First of all, the reviews scared me a bit. Then I tought there was not enough vegetables (I added a bit more). I suggest adding red bell pepper instead of green, to give some color. I didn't boil the vegetables, but fried them in a little olive oil not retain the nutrients. And believe me, I had a pleasant surprise!

More garlic makes it nice, plus some additional spices in the sauce, but it's a good base - great to work from and create your own variations. Certainly pleased my boyfriend on his birthday!

I added this recipe to my box a while back because I thought it sounded good.. Just today my mom made lunch and it was something very very similar to this, She said she just made it up but since it's so similar I wanted to rate this recipe and say that is came out really really yummy and you should try it!

Don't be put off by the unkind and inaccurate review above. It's not haute cuisine, but a wholesome family dish, and easily adaptable to your preferences, or to what you have available. I usually use Cheddar cheese, and put the dish under a hot overhead grill for a few minutes instead of into the oven

A 13x9 pan is almost too small to fit everything in. Also, the milk burned on the bottom of the pan when cooking.

This is a horribly bland tasteless recipe. I ended up throwing the entire thing out. I don't know what could be changed to give it some taste except perhaps, a whole other recipe. Terrible. Would not recommend.
