This was a tasty and easy meal with all the goodness one could hope for. To make it a little more kid friendly, I eliminated the bell pepper, used half the amount of onion and doubled the noodles(my kids' idea). I also used garden bow tie noodles which added even more to the health value. This was absolutely delicious for all of us. My boys especially liked sprinkling the parmesan cheese on top. It gave it sort of a pizza taste. Thanks for something yummy and healthy!
