This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Pasta (Paperback)

Wow! I LOVE this cookbook! You know how it is when you come in from work and you're dead tired and ravenous and you just don't have the energy to cook anything? Well, if you can face boiling water, you can make almost any of these dishes in the time it takes the pasta to cook. Everything is super easy, fast, and delicious, and good for you to boot. My only wish is that some of the recipes were "saucier" -- since they are all low fat, they (the ones I have made, at least) tend to be more of the "pasta salad" or "pasta toss" variety than good, hearty sauces. But, much better for you in the long run, and unarguably delicious, every recipe I've tried.
