Advantages: Fresh ingredients mean no additives or other nasties.

Disadvantages: A bit fattening.

This recipe is a lovely rich tasting dish that is a nice alternative to the jared pasta sauces that seem to have become commonplace in the modern household. If youve got a little time its a good idea to cook things like sauces from scratch as most branded sauces are full of additives and E numbers.

This dish isnt really for those on a diet as the cream cheese is fatty and really a bit extravigant! Though the goodness from the peppers, onions and tomatoes will sort of counter balance that. Pasta meals can work out very economical as you can store them in the fridge and heat them up the next day, i often take my left overs to work the next day and it makes a filling and enjoyable lunch hot or cold.
