Looks like a winner! I will try...we often have pasta dishes. Stephano is excellent also: slided fresh garlic (lots, about 20 cloves), olive oil, saute garlic in olive oil, pour on whole grain pasta, garnish with italian flat parley (chopped).

Most were way too high in cholestrol and fat for my diet... I would weight 300 pounds in no time if I made these more than once every month.

I will make it for my family. I'll have to substitute wheat pasta for something else for myself. Allergic to wheat.
