I now also double the spinach also and this is still one of our favorites. Thank you for a perfect side dish that compliments spinach! :)

I made this for my family as a side dish. They ended up eating more of it then the entree!

It won't let me change my rating, but I tried it a second time, left the lemon zest out, and it was still overly lemony. Also, it was very difficult to mix the spinach into the pasta...the spinach just kind of sat on the outside of the clump of pasta.

I tried this and followed the recipe, although I didn't measure the lemon as well as I should have. The spinach was extremely lemony. I'm going to try it again, but either leave out the lemon zest or add it to the pasta instead of the spinach.

This was soooooooo good! I wanted to double it and use a 16 ounce box of angel hair, so I used 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 6 tablespoons lemon juice, 4-5 garlic cloves, and kept the amounts of the spinach, lemon peel, salt and pepper the same. Added crushed red pepper flakes for a little more zip. Also added fresh grated Parmesan. This was so simple and fresh , we loved it and I am so glad I doubled it, we ate it all. I served this with breaded , baked chicken breasts and I can't wait to make it again. The leftovers we finished the next day were wonderful as well! Sure beats the box of Pasta Roni! Thanks for sharing! :)

It's a very quick, very tasty meal. I also added feta cheese and let it melt into the pasta. Great with or without the cheese.
