I wanted to put a 4.5 but the stars wouldn't let me. I loved this recipe, but my husband was kind of ishy. He didn't love it or dislike it. He said \"something\" was missing, where I thought it was perfect. I love spaghetti and this recipe is another type of spaghetti that we've not had before but will certainly have again. After this meal, I did not feel weighted down like I do with spaghetti sauce and ground beef. This is lighter in every way. I did make this with not whole wheat linguine (as I don't like it), but with standard spaghetti.
