I usually do not leave negative reviews but I really have to say this was terribly bland. It would probably be better off served to toddlers. I would not make it again but I would advise anyone who did make this to 1. use parm instead of asiago, much stronger taste, 2. at least double the garlic and salt, 3. add more brocoli and less pasta. Other than that I have nothing. Sorry Cooking Light, you missed the mark ont this one! I will stick to my usual Chix Broc and Ziti recipe going forward.
