Personal Notes:
This is a family favorite - super fast and easy to make and everyone loves it. It's a great way to get veggies into the kids and/or have a meat-free meal. Re-reading the actual recipe to type it in here, I realize we would add significantly more Parmesan cheese - like close to a 1/4 cup, but add as much or as little as you like. This is a fast dinner for a rushed weeknight. It can be used as a side dish as well.
