    I made a red wine vinegrette for this and it went very well with the strong flavor of the roasted red peppers. The noodles however weren't worth the effort. I undercooked the first one and it was very difficult to eat/cut. To do it right, you really do have to get the noodle cake darkish, that way it crumbles and can be eaten. I just think cracking open a container of chow mein would have saved me the time and excessive olive oil use.

    I found this to be very chewy and cruchy, in a difficult to eat kind of way. The salad did not have too much flavor and the pasta cake was too oily. If you use an oil based salad dressing the overall effect is too oily. Not too impressed and won't be making it again.

    I thought it was good but found it kind of difficult to eat. The spagetti pie was kind of hard to cut.
