My husband and I both thought this was very good. I did find it a bit bland at first though. I made some changes and then it was really good. I microwaved a small amount of low fat cream cheese and milk and added it to make the pasta creamy. I also added some italian seasoning to give it more flavor. Oh, and I used bow tie pasta, because that's all I had on hand.

I loved this dish. I also saved a pot and cooked the broccoli for the last 5 min. in the pasta pot.

Boring, not much flavor.

I saved a pot and threw the broccoli in with the pasta for the last five minutes of cooking! I also went a little heavier on the parmesan cheese and added some crushed red pepper. I'll make this again. It couldn't be easier :)

Works for me! Nice to see kids that age enjoying healthy food, too.For those concerned about the garlic, just use a little less and/or add a little fresh parsley (counters garlic breath and helps digestion).
