This recipe didn't turn out as creamy as I thought it would. I even tried adding some extra milk and butter but to no avail.

What I love about this recipe is the simplicity yet it taste as though I spent all evening in the kitchen! Both my husband and 6 yr old loved it! I added shrimp; but I also used garlic and Italian Seasoning for additional flavor. I will certainly be making this dish over & over!

This was incredibly good. I used green bell pepper instead of the red. Next time I will use whole wheat pasta and try it with fat free cream cheese. I will vary the veggies a bit for some added color, possibly using red bell pepper instead of green, yellow squash, and definitely add a little garlic.

Made this last night forgot the mushrooms but added fresh carrots and garlic for the dried herbs i mixed 1/4tsp oregano and 14tsp basil very good, my four year old ate it and my boyfriend and picky sister ate two bowls each so there were no left overs, word of advise double this if you want it for a meal as this is a great quick dinner.

My family loved this recipe. I would never have known it was a light recipe if I hadn't made it myself. Next time I may experiment and add some minced garlic with the veggies. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.

This was so tasty! I added in crab, which still kept the calories low, but tasted great!

I loved it! Very easy and tasty. I added some garlic powder and substituted green peppers for zucchini, but really any veggies would work. may even try adding shrimp or chicken!

Great recipe! I did add brocolli, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Really gave it a great taste. Quick and easy!
