I liked the recipe, but I didn't have many of the ingredients on hand, so I used rotini for the pasta, and for the veggies, I used red pepper, cucumber, and onion. (I really liked the red-white-green for an Italian recipe.) I also added a clove of garlic, some Italian seasoning, and some Parmesan cheese. It turned out great! Thanks for the idea! :-)

This recipe was delicious and very easy! I will probably use it often as it has all of my favorite flavors. This time I made it without any modifications but it would certainly turn out well if you wanted to add any other vegetables. I was also thinking about throwing in some fresh basil.

I substituted in fat free cheese and high fiber rotini. Tasted amazing will definitely make it again and again.
