This was wonderful!!! I made as instructed only adding three tiny baby eggplant (which I found at the farmers market...so cute) and cutting this in half. It still makes a lot but worth every tasty bite. I did use a bottled alfredo sauce with garlic and next time I will probably make my own but this is going into my Favorties of 2012. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2012 and National Diabetic Forum tomato.

I'm a college student doing my best to eat healthy! I love to cook for my roommates, but between the vegetarian, the perpetual dieter, and the picky eater I have living with me, pasta night is the only thing we can really agree on. I love to go out and party, shop, and just veg out with my girlfriends. I really hate people who talk through movies...just watch, you'll find out what happens!
