If you can tolerate Dreamfield's pasta, you might like this dish. I
experimented with it tonight for supper and it was a big hit. Make any
changes to the veggies you want for what's in the fridge. I think
julienned zucchini would be great. A few fresh Chinese pea pods would
also be nice. Be creative!

slaps head right - the Dreamfields spaghetti or linguini would be a
good texture for this! I've been using Shirataki noodles, but it's a
pain - the whole family could eat it with the pasta! Thanks, Janet!
