Good and simple to make. I made one change though, instead of 10 T cream, I used 10 T Greek Style Yogurt. Much healthier. Do not over heat the yogurt.

This is a very good and easy recipe. The only thing I will change next time is using fettuccine pasta instead of the ziti I had on hand. I think the thinner,lighter pasta will work better. Being a new vegetarian I am always looking for new and different things to eat and this was very good. Thanks for posting.
