This turn out very good. Family loved it. I used multi grain rotini pasta, and my family could not tell the difference.

Like one other reviewer I also used the rotel instead of the green peppers and regular canned tomatoes. Everyone in the family liked it and we all like differing amounts of spicy flavor.

I was disappointed with this recipe. It was sort of bland. Definitely needs salt, and maybe some other seasonings to give it some more flavor.

I thought it was very tasty & simple to prepare, I like the flavor of the Cooking Creme, but I did add cumin to give it a little more kick.

Loved by every member of my family, this recipe had a great flavor. I substituted Ro-tel for the green peppers and diced tomatoes. The dish was easy,quick, and needs no sides; it is an all-in-one. I will be passing this recipe on!
