“<p>Thank you for a delicious recipe! I have hemochromatosis and can't eat red meat because of iron. I hadn't had spaghetti in over 3 yrs. The recipe served on WW pasta made me feel like I was at an Italian restauraunt with a plate of spaghetti. Delish! Thank y” — a cook, 5★
“Made this last night. Delicious. I used a can of lentils instead of the green lentils so no need to add the water as the lentils are already cooked. So flavourful.” — a cook, 5★
