Wow...it's good

This turned out surprisingly well. I add squash to it to have more vegetables. It was really pretty easy but you need a large pan to cook it all in. The noodles have a really nice flavor from cooking them in the oil before hand. The lime, cotija cheese and scallions add a PERFECT touch to the meal. I am really pleasantly surprise by this dish. I definitely recommend it!!

Pros: Easy, you can add whatever vegetables you want, cooks in one pan, dinner in a bowl!

Love it

My partner and I love this. I used a 14.5 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes instead of 2 fresh tomatoes and Parmesan cheese instead of Asiago. My partner thought I ought to try adding cilantro next time. It's really nice to have a different way to use pasta, and we love the sauteed flavor.

Pros: Simple, 1 pot meal

yummy for lunch

I substituted asperagus for green beans and left out the cheese. This was really great on the first night, but also heated really well for lunch for a few days!

Pros: reheated great

Easy & delicious!

I made this for the first time and was very happy with the results. I didn't have whole wheat pasta, so used regular. I also didn't have enough green beans to make 2 cups, so I added some zucchini and yellow squash (from my garden). It was delicious! I didn't have the mexican cheese on hand, so I used Romano. The scallions and lime juice added at the end really brought the dish together and made it special.

Quite tasty

I'm not a huge fan of whole wheat pasta, but this is an excellent use of the pasta. The toasting enhances the flavor. I used the cojita cheese which was perfect. I threw in a few pieces of leftover roasted chicken at the end, but the dish doesn't need any meat.

Pros: Super easy
