Mixed 2 recipies
I mixed this with the Sicilian Fuscillie recipie, and had a delicious, healthy, perfectly blended 1 dish meal that was fast and easy to make! It doesn't get any better than that!

needed a bit more kick
tasty, but a little bland. I added some garlic and it helped, then I added some red pepper flakes and it was really good! I followed another poster's advice and added some spinach, I also added artichoke hearts.

For a healthy meal...this was suprisingly full of flavor and quick to make. I added some asparagus, since it was on hand. I think that next time I make this, I might add some toasted almonds, something to give it a little bit of a crunch.

This was good -- flavourful, health and quick to make. I added a bag of washed spinach leaves, which I sauteed with the garlic until wilted, to make this into a one-dish meal and to add some color. Start to finish this took me about 20 minutes. I will make this again!
