Loved it. Substituted Asiago cheese with Mozarella and it was ready to roll. Took your advice and rounded it off with garlic bread followed by a thick chocolate milkshake. Had a delightful evening with the family with this easy-to-cook, great tasting, fantastic recipe.

I found this new product called Happy Pho by this company called Star Anise Foods – it’s a tasty Vietnamese brown rice noodles soup that I’m literally addicted to as I can get a nutritious vegan meal together in 10 mins. You can get them at Amazon.com or grocery stores in Northern California. Yum! ttp://staranisefoods.com/find-us.aspx

This was fantastic! I added two cloves of finely chopped garlic to the sauce/pepper mixture just because I love garlic, and instead of using Asiago cheese I used mozzarella and Parmesan as that was what I had on hand. It turned out marvelously and even my picky eater boyfriend said it was really good. A great way for me to sneak healthy spinach in for him without affecting taste - it was bursting with flavor. Serve with warm bread and you've got a complete meal! Can't wait to make it again!

Very good and easy! If you don't like spicy, use only a 1/4 tsp. or pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
