I liked this recipe alot. Filling w/not too many points.
This recipe is delicious if you are a vegetable lover. It looks really nice and colorful too. I had some leftovers and they made a nice low-calorie lunch the next day also. Great!!!
This recipe is very easy and does look great. Although I found it kinda blah. I love veggies I am not a vegetarian, so I might add some chicken and thicken the sauce and definatly add more garlic. It will so be a new recipe I will work with.
Left room for dessert 
Most low fattening dinner I have ever made.
this is a great recipe
I added about a cup of cooked rice to the filling and it made the meal that much more complete.
I thought this was interesting and fun to make!
Also, I used red bell peppers instead of yellow, but it was very tasty =)
