""Fresh garden vegetables make this a special dish that's quick, easy, and downright delicious. It costs about 88 cents per person." Made this a couple of days ago. I was really afraid one box of fettuccine wasn't going to be enough, but it turns out perfectly. I used my mandoline thing to julienne the zucchini. Everybody in my meat-loving family enjoyed this hearty, healthy vegetarian dish. Very filling. I also used a big (like 30 oz?) can of diced tomatoes, drained instead of fussing with fresh ones. I also used the Parmesan cheese out of the container, but it would be awesome with fresh! As always, you can adjust the garlic, cheese, and red pepper flakes to your tastes. You could also use green peppers instead of red if you like. Enjoy!"

<p>Love to cook and come up with new recipe ideas. Always looking for that recipe to save me some money too! Other hobbies of mine include all kinds of crafty things like making jewelry, scrapbooking, sewing, card making, and many others. I live on the East coast in PA, and the local produce always provides tons of inspiration for my creativity. I'm very involved in living an eco-friendly, green lifestyle, and helping others to do so as well. My favorite dish to make is my grandmother's stuffing, and I think I'm pretty famous for it too. Everybody seems to love it. Favorite restaurant has to be Al Dente. It is a unique, family-owned Itallian place here. A rare thing among all the chain restaurants that seem to keep popping up everywhere. Pretty much every recipe I have posted I have made myself for my family and they have to like it for it to get on here. Try them out for yourself!!</p>
