Great, easy, fast recipe. BUT TRUST ME 16 oz of pasta must be an error, 8oz is way more then enough and would still serve 6-8 people.

Easy and yummy! Added a little more cream, 1/3 cup of pasta water, and onion powder.

The proportions of this recipe are a little off. I used 12 oz of gf spaghetti and that was too much for the amount of cream. Next time I'll use 8 oz of pasta like the other reviewer suggested. Also this is WAY WAY too many peas. I would cut the amount of peas down to two cups at least, maybe even 1. Noticed there weren't any seasons so I added 1/4 tsp Dijon, a pinch of nutmeg, sea salt and black pepper, and garlic. This is an easy recipe that can be built on. The dish was a little bland but not bad.

Flavor was good, easy to make. Mine got a bit thick. I cut the peas down to 2 cups which was good. I will try again

Delicious & easy. Use a good quality Parm (I like Sartori). The nutty, funkiness of good parm imparts delicious flavor. Next time I may add 1/2 tsp. Dijon to the cream, but otherwise, delish as is.

Wonderful quick, easy and DELICIOUS meal. Hubby was amazed at how fast I got this together and how tasty it was! I didn't have shredded Parmesan cheese, so I used an Italian cheese blend. I will definitely be making this again!

Four stars after adding some much needed garlic, thyme and pepper.
