This was the first bad recipe I've found on Recipe Zaar.. and I've used dozens. This was so bad, I had to throw it away and we ate cereal for dinner. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was just awful. -
This was a good, lower calorie pasta dish. The parmesan cheese really set it off - I definitely wouldn't make it without that. On the other hand, I'm not sure I liked it well enough to make it again. I would recommend giving it a try, though.
