This dish was great and easy to prepare. Next time I will omit the peppers, they were just a overbearing taste. I will make this monthly!!!!

My kids all loved this one. I also shared this one with some of my co-workers and they also loved it.

This was fast and easy, but not my favorite. My husband said it was OK, but not great. We'll probably make it again because it's on Week One's Express Shopping List (and I love the express shopping lists!), but I won't go out of my way to make it again.

I have made this several times now and it is quite good and FAST. I have made it as is and also have added onions, garlic, and black beans. Superb.

Everyone loved it. I substituted low fat/no fat sour cream and cheese and used whole wheat pasta. Very tasty!

I don't like raw red peppers, but when they are cooked in this recipe, it makes it taste wonderful!
