thought this was really good. I made it as an appetizer for my montlhy scrapbook club and everyone really liked having a "different" type of warm appetizer. I think it would be a great base for an easy dinner. We talked about using wide noodles and making a quick lasagna with it or just tossing it with any pasta and in fact that is what I did with the leftovers!
