This was a nice simple meal to cook. I made a ton of it. I added mushrooms. It was yummy!

We liked this a lot. We doubled the pasta, sauce and chicken so we'd have leftovers, but did not double the spice. It was very creamy and delicious.

I really enjoyed the colors and taste of this dish. I doubled the sauce but not the spices and it was perfect for me.

Tonight, I finally made this recipe. I used asparagus and carrots, instead of peas. My family LOVED it! This recipe is a keeper!

This was good, and easy to make. I didn't have lemon peel, and don't care to use any citrus peel, so I used 2 tsp of lemon juice. I'd say it would take more than 1 T to get an actual lemony flavor. I would cut down the peas to 1 cup or 1 1/2 cups. I'd also add mushrooms and onion as well. Just because I'm fond of them and think it would fit well.

A great creamy pasta dish! I would definitely skip the peas next time though. The original recipe uses 2 cups - far too much for my taste.

I cooked 4 slices of bacon and then sauted the chicken, pepper and garlic in the drippings. I then added the cooked bacon at the end with the Parmesan cheese. It was good but I will add mushrooms and onion next time too.

We loved this. But we doubles the noodles and it was still saucy enough!

Very good and quick recipe. I made it as instructed, but didn't add all the peas and used additional milk to thin the sauce after it was all mixed together. I used whole wheat pasta. I'll definitely be preparing it again and will probably add mushrooms and onion.
