Marinara mix is good easy addition to this recipe (rather than the fish and prawns etc)

This dish was a little bland for my liking, but would be great with a few modifications. Used chicken instead of tofu. Would skip the fish - it was too fiddly and broke up in the dish so you couldn''t taste it. Could easily have halved the amount of noodles and been happy. Definitely needed chilli - next time slice a few fresh chillies and add heaps of fresh coriander.
