9 Reviews of Low-Fat Vegetable and Pasta Casserole

I love the idea of this being low-fat, but it didn't have a lot of flavor and was somewhat bland for our taste. I think if I make this again, I will add twice as many veggies and add some extra spices to give it a kick. Also, I won't bake it as long as the recipe states, because the pasta on top got a little crispy.

    Made for Zaartag. If I made this again, I wouldn't bake it for 30 minutes. The top part got hard and my oven usually takes longer that what most recipes state to cook stuff for. The inside was creamy but didn't have a lot of flavor, but hey it is a lowfat recipe! Oh I have to confess that I did use dried basil since I couldn't find any fresh... maybe that would have made all the difference! Still a good recipe for low-fat!

    I didn't choose this recipe for the low fat idea. Chose it because of a photo that was taken of it and it sounded very good as well. Came together fast. Next time I will add some salt though and I had to use dried basil, but can just imagine how much better it would taste with the fresh.

    For a low-fat recipe, it's pretty darn good. I tasted the white sauce before baking and it was screaming for salt. I am not one to use a lot of salt, but this needed a lot of salt. The fresh chopped basil helped a lot with the flavor. I doubled the mushrooms. I will make this again, but next time I would probably cut the amount of pasta by almost half.....just to make the pasts/veggie ratio more even. Thanx for a nice low-fat recipe!

    Very tasty! I made this for tonights dinner and it was a good all in one dish. I appreciate the low fat and sugar content. I had to use dried basil but I put it into the white sauce as it cooked and I think it was fine. Thank you for a good and healthy weeknight dinner.

    This is a fabulous recipe. I make it every week and it's great for a diet. You can use lots of different vegetables and use up what you have at hand - I've done it with Kale or cabbage rather than broccoli and it's just great. Thanks for this recipe.
