  1. Yet one more fabulous pasta dish presented by Lainey! Loved all the veggies in this. Only slight change was I used snow peas instead of regular peas just for fun! This would be wonderful even without the chicken for a meatless dinner! Loved it completely! Thanks Lainey for sharing in Gimme Five tag game.
     
  2. I love this! It's really my kind of dinner, easy to make and you put it in a bowl and it's ready. Add to that the fact that it's yummy and not all that bad health wise if you replace the cream with some fat free evaporated milk :D. The veggies are great and except for the frozen peas they were organic. Thanks Lanie for another winning dinner recipe. Made for Photo Tag.
     
  3. My family loved this, I forgot the pinch of nutmeg, which I known would have added a little extra. Oh well, next time!
     
  4. Lovely, simple quick and delicious, ideal when you come home from work and would like a good meal with no fuss. Flexible, I didn't have broccoli so added some frozen corn, and also used up some snow peas in this dish. Otherwise, as per recipe, this made a lovely meal that I will definitely make again. Thank you Lainey, I found this recipe in the PRMR tag game.
     
  5. Easy to make, and quite satisfying. I used some squash along with all the other vegetables, so I added extra cream too. It's a good recipe for using up any extra vegetables you have left over. Will make again.
