This is a very tasty, healthy recipe! My husband and I use wheat angel-hair pasta, and instead of butter, we use olive oil (we sautee the onion and zucchini/squash in the oil). Very easy recipe and a family favorite!

Exploded in microwave! Even after pricking in several places (even though recipe only alludes to once), it was still not enough ventilation for inside. If you insist on making it,I suggest cutting open BEFORE microwaving to ensure enough ventilation. It not only made a huuuge mess in my kitchen, but gave my husband some fuel for laughter.
