This is very good! We added some sliced scallions to the garlic. -
This was a pleasant, if ho hum, pasta entree. It fed 3. The taste was subtle. The pasta would have been woefully dry if I hadn't added extra olive oil, plus some of the pasta cooking water. I also added fresh Parmesan cheese to give it a flavor boost, and an extra clove of garlic. While it was okay, I expect better from Betty Crocker! (I have the diabetic cookbook, too, and the portion amounts that they specify verge on ridiculous!) -
Quick, easy & tasty. I think I'll add some lime juice next time to add abit more zest. I liked the addition of the avocado & enjoyed all the other flavours together. Thanks for sharing.

This was a staple in college. I still make it all the time now, when I need a quick tasty meal. I add a touch of lime juice to throw in a bit of tang (it also has the side benefit of keeping the avocados from browning). -
This was execent! It's light which is great for summer, but is also filling andgood for you too!

Cooking is what I do. I love looking for new recipes. I have three daughters, the last one left for college this year. Being a military family gives us the opportunity to try a variety of cuisine's from all over the world. I learned to cook from watching my father while I was growing up and have loved cooking as long as I can remember. A big thank you to everyone for this wonderful site.
