    sounds really filling and full of veggies. the only suggestion i would make is swapping out a whole wheat or multi-grain pasta for the regular (though i'm a big fan of the regular) to bump up the fiber and the protein <-- go figure!

    otherwise, this sounds delish. you get a lot of bang for your buck with this one.

    great job!
