This white chocolate-based fudge has toasted oats, toasted walnuts, and, of course, luscious raisins. It tastes like an oatmeal raisin cookie. Get ready for a workout for your upper body! When the white chocolate chips and other ingredients are added, the fudge becomes rather thick and difficult to mix. Since the fudge hardens quickly, it pays to have all of your ingredients measured out before getting started. Keep surplus items in the fridge.

Reviews
Loved this!! I used angelhair pasta, fresh roma tomatoes, sweet onion, fresh shredded parmesan/romano, juice from 1/2 lemon and topped with bacon crumbles! Next time…shrimp on the grill with bowtie pasta!
Delicious as is! This will be a regular dish at our house. Also goes very nicely as a veggie side for a main dish that already contains pasta, e.g. tuna noodle casserole, lasagna, etc. Simply omit the pasta. Easy and yummy!
I added onion, white wine & a teaspoon of better than boullion. I was liberal with the garlic salt too. So good!
Quite delicious. I will add a splash of white wine next time. I left out the garlic salt. I simply sautéed the fresh broccoli with the bell peppers instead of steaming it first. Thank you for the recipe.
Very tasty, and very easy to prepare. I read the reviews, some thought it was boring, so I added mushrooms and shrimp- delicious! I also added some hot pimento paste for a little kick, a little bit more butter so the pasta wouldn’t be too dry. Definitely will be making it again!
Kids totally loved this. Made some adjustments per others comments. Added rotisserie chicken pieces, tomatoes and lots more vegetables no butter and also used some chicken broth during the sauté of the vegetables added 6 cloves of minced garlic will add more next time
This recipe was good, I am only giving 3 stars because it was indeed a bit boring, but great for a last minute throw together meal. I will make it again and maybe I will take my boyfriend’s advice of “it needs bacon”
My Family loved this. Butter and Garlic give it just the right flavor. I also added a couple of fresh tomatoes. We will be making this again!
I added a sweet onion to this. And did my own eye measure of portions. I’m only one person.
Simple, uncomplicated, but delicious. I skipped the garlic salt (seemed redundant considering you’ve already including fresh garlic) and as for the cooking method, the step of steaming the broccoli is not necessary – I simply sauteed it along with the red peppers.
I loved this recipe. I made a few tweaks which made it perfect for me. First I used a mix of olive oil and walnut oil (2 tbsp of each) to saute my onions & garlic. I added the broccoli right to my pan rather than microwaving it first. I used red, orange & yellow peppers & served it over brown rice. It was full of flavor & I will definitely make it regularly. Thank you for sharing it!
This w as so good. Didn’t change a thing. Very colorful and delicious
Very good, light and healthy. I didn’t have broccoli so I didn’t add it, but I did add diced tomatoes, garlic, mixed green and red pepper strips (only 1/4 cup), a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and 1/4 cup of chopped spinach. This was really good. Served with pork kabobs. Nice and easy meal
This rocks! Sometimes I make it into a main dish by adding chicken breast or (my wife’s fave) pan fried and sliced chicken sausage. Amazingly quick and tasty.
i omitted the butter and parmesan cheese, then added about 1/2 cup cream cheese spread and a little milk. it was delicious!!
I cannot say enough about this recipe. It is flavorful, delicious, and light. I especially enjoy cooking it in the warmer weather as the pasta is not heavy at all. It’s a wonderful way to take whatever seasonal veggies you have lying around (peppers, zucchini, broccoli, onions) and cook them in a new way to make a creative new side dish. It’s a wonderful compliment to seasoned chicken or barbequed steak.
First, I have to say that I did change the recipe up quite a bit, but it was a GREAT base recipe to make your own. I ended up adding fresh mushrooms, an onion sliced up, and vegetarian chicken to it. I used spaghetti noodles, a little more butter and olive oil (probably because I had more “stuff” in it, and doubled the amount of garlic. My pan is not big enough to saute all the veggies at once, so I sauteed the garlic, onion, red pepper, and mushrooms together in the 3 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter till they were mostly cooked but still a little crispy, then used a slotted spoon and moved them into the pot of already cooked and drained pasta. Then to the liquid that was left I added the steamed broccoli and Morning Star chicken and heated through. Added that to the pasta with a little more olive oil and butter and mixed well. My hubby didn’t even know it was Morning Star Chicken and not the real thing, and it was so quick to make.
The flavors in this dish are great together. I blanched the broccoli in the microwave for about half as much time as the recipe suggests so it wouldn’t be limp and overdone after sauteeing. One could also simply add it to the pasta pot for the last few minutes of cooking. I used a Romano + parmesan cheese blend for the cheese for more flavor than parmesan alone. Next time I’ll change the proportions to more veggies, less pasta, as a good way to get more vegetables into my diet. PS I just noticed that a reviewer didn’t like it, but didn’t use any red pepper. Well, duh, that’s about 1/3 of the dish ingredients, people!
This was good! I have to agree with others to add something-tomatoes, broth, wine-to make it saucier and add flavor. I added about 1/2 a can of petite diced tomatoes to the veggies and it was perfect. If you like spice, add red pepper flakes. It was a great dinner! Plus quick and easy too-will def make it again!
it was very good but needs a liitle more if you know what i mean.
I usually just look for recipes to use as a guideline, and this one looked pretty good. I used regular thin spaghetti instead of linguini and used half of a green pepper, half of a red pepper and half of a yellow pepper along with the broccoli to give it more color. I used some italian seasonings while sauteeing the peppers and added a bit of parm cheese to the mix. I didnt see anything about tossing the pasta with oil, so i did that separately and then combined it with the veggies. It was really delicious. My SO and kids (3 years old and 10.5months) all devoured it! I will be making a rendition of this again in the future.
