    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/12/2013   Wow this really qualifies as a recipe? This now gives me confidence to share a recipe I've been tweaking for a while. I'm calling it "Cereal with Milk" ..basically the same concept, just not quite the same level of complexity.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/23/2010   bet thiswould be great if you used spaghetti squash also or instead of the noodles :)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/22/2010   I am of Greek descent. I remember my mother and aunts making this dish when I was a young child in the 1950s. They told me that this dish became extremely popular during the depression since it was so economical and satisfying to feed this to the family.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/29/2008   Made with whole wheat pasta and added sauteed onion and bell peppers - delicious!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/06/2008   I loved this. In fact I ate it nearly everyday for dinner for a week. It's very fast and easy and surprisingly yummy
