  1. I, too, loved the flavor of this dish. I reduced the fats to 1T butter and 2T olive oil, then passed the olive oil for each to drizzle on their own serving. That seemed to solve the dryness problem and still reduce our total fat intake. I should think this would be great with whatever vegetables happen to be fresh in your garden at the moment, not just green beans and peas.
     
  2. delicious flavor from the fresh herbs and lemon. i was able to get shrimp noodles in the asian market and used them in this dish. i would have preferred more sauce, next time i will use half the egg noodles.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
