Very filling & satisfying and b/c of all the vegetbles, you end up eating only about half a cup of pasta in a serving. I used whole wheat rotini pasta and that worked well. However, next time I may add more garlic and just a little bit more oil ... or perhaps 1 TB of butter ... to pump up the flavor a bit.

+5 weight watchers points is too much for me. I try to stay away from pasta as well.
