There are a couple of pasta dishes in this book that have become regulars for me and my family. They are simple and delicious! That said:1. These particular dishes (the pasta with cream and zucchini and the pasta with olives and chick peas) require 12 ounces of pasta. Most of the time, I'm stuck buying a pound and then measuring it out to get three-quarters of the box. That's slighly annoying!2. And not all the dishes are complete meals in themselves, if that's what you're looking for in a casserole/eintopf.That said, I've enjoyed using this book and eating the food I cook from it. If you're looking for a simple vegetarian cookbook, or a way to add a vegetarian meal or two to your weekly rotation, this is a good book to try.
