Makeover Greek Spaghetti
“My hot dish recipe is delicious but not very healthy,” writes Melanie Dalbec of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. “I would love it if you could make it over.” This comforting version offers all of the goodness you’d expect from a casserole with nearly 60 percent less fat than Melanie's original recipe.

I agree with the comments that state "good not great" - "too crunchy" and "needs something." I added chopped kalamata olives and 2 garlic cloves and we were still not overly impressed (although it looks great going in and out of the oven). I used whole wheat pasta as well. I will not make this again.
Yes, I would make this again- but with several adjustments. My family and I felt it was too creamy- I think not adding the flour/milk mixture would help. I also used wheat pasta and though it was meant as a joke from a previous reviewer, next time I will add olives and feta instead of mozzerella! Just needs some more flavor.
Recipe can stand further "tweaking". I used whole wheat pasta, fat free mayo and sour cream. Worked well and kept the great taste.
"Good, but not great" were the remarks from my family. Next time, I would boil the onions, celery, and green pepper with the noodles. They were a bit too crunchy in the dish.

This is delicious! Restaurant-quality yet not expensive to make. It makes plenty for a group, or serve it up in individual containers and freeze it to enjoy another day!
can you give me the calories in these light dishes. I am on Weight Watchers and love your receipes from the old books in 98 & 2007
WHAT!!!! No Feta?!! NO Olives?!!NO CAPERS??!!!(Relax, I'm being obnoxious.)It just seems that every recipe I come across with Mediterranean flavors "has to have" Feta, olives, and capers lately...
