My husband and I loved this dish. We are trying to shed some pounds so we opted out of the pasta, but I used "califlower rice" instead. Using the CR gave it a wonderful texture and the mild caulflower taste added to the flavors in our opinion.

Review
Loved how simple and how tasteful for an all in one! I am on a diet right now, so I skipped the pasta portion and was still very satisfied.

I love this one. It was so fast. I'm a personal chef and I will be making this for my customers. It does freeze well.
