Three out of four liked it, with the anti-cheese kid being the other one. As per the suggestions, I added onions. Sweet red pepper strips would go nicely, too. Good, quick meal.

Hello, Yummy! I made this for supper and it was a hit! My kids, husband and I all loved it! Will be making it again. *Worth noting: I didn't use any parmesan and it was still delish!*

I made this using light cream cheese & fat-free zesty Italian dressing. We didn't bother with the Parmesan cheese as it was cheesy enough for us. My spaghetti was done before the sauce was ready, so next time I'll make the sauce first THEN the noodles. I also did what other users suggested & added onions, although a bit late, but hubby loved the dish anyway.
