This meal was great. I am a single guy so I don't like to spend a lot of time cooking...this was quick and easy.

these was a nice suprise, i did not think it would go down well as a family meal with no meat but it was a hit.

I made this last night and it was easy to make but very plain. If I make it again I will use a different sauce that has more taste to it.
