It's probably my favorite from that book! It's really not very spicy. The red pepper adds a little kick that I love, and I'm always a bit disappointed when I don't add enough, but I think if you halved the amount I've listed (which might be twice what the original author recommends - I can't remember), I don't think you'll have a problem. The only significant change I make from the original recipe is doubling the tomatoes. Sara – I know I’ve recommended this recipe to you before! It’s probably my favorite from that book!

I notice it has red pepper in it - is it hot at all? Blake won't eat anything hot right now - he'll spit it out and tell me "hot". I don't think he understands the difference between spicy hot and stove hot. I have the same cookbook but I’ve never made this recipe, and now I’m tempted to try it.

But I do enjoy good food and I'm usually not very picky. This dish however, is one of my favorites (next to Salmon Pesto Pasta!!). It's hot, it's healthy, it tastes super good, and B usually doesn't end up swearing too much in the kitchen while she's preparing it. Although it's good anytime, I think that it's piping hotness and bright colors make it that much more enjoyable in the winter time. Or it could be that we just got hit with 2 feet of snow and it tasted so good with freezing toes. If you’ve read my other posts you’ll know that I am not a foodie like Bridget.

This was delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I used a medium large zucchini and potato, so I had to up the herbs a bit. I added more rosemary and some herbs de provence. I will be making this again very soon. So easy, healthy, and delicious! Yum! This was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Veggies and beans can never go wrong. It would be perfect on a cold day like this! This looks soooo yummy! Veggies and beans can never go wrong. It would be perfect on a cold day like this!
