Excellent! I used fresh veggies from the garden..peppers,zucchini and carrots. I didn't use the mushrooms, mozzarella or olives. I used the rest of the ingredients and cooked it according to the recipe. We added grated romano cheese before serving. A simple, quick and inexpensive summer dinner!

I'm always on the lookout for recipes that incorporate lots of vegetables and this was it. I did cook the vegetables longer and used brown rice pasta (gluten free and we really liked this. The olives & smoked mozzarella can make it pricey, but I just used a little less of each and made the whole meal a second time the next week. Even the kids liked it!

Overall this is an extremely bland recipe. The sauce is really watery because it doesn't have a chance to reduce. And even then, it really needs some wine to make this dish stand out at all. The mushrooms taste great, but that's because they've been marinating for days in your fridge. The smoked mozzarella is expensive and you definitely don't get a piece in every bite. I'd recommend using good parmigiano instead.

The time commitment to the vegetables is definitely more than 5 minutes.

I would never make this again.

Scrap the expensive items (my kids won't eat 'em anywaylike mushrooms, smoked mozzarella, pesto.

I sauteed the veggies, but they took way more than 5 minutes. I'd microcook them, then mix everything together.

Sauce was too watery. I'd add some jarred spaghetti sauce to the mix, as well as shredded cheese.

I did buy some basil pesto, spread it on Pillsbury breadsticks, everybody loved them!!!!!!

This was a very simple dish to prepare and tasted very good. This pasta is, unfortunately, very expensive to prepare due to the specific olives and mushrooms. However, the price may be worth it. The pasta is fresh tasting and may be a little bland for some. I would suggest adding fire roasted red peppers, perhaps some green chilis and maybe even some red pepper flakes. I will make this dish again!
