My granddaughters live this pasta. I found it too dry the first time I made it so now I double everything except the padta.
So good! I would absolutely add this to the dinner rotation. Everyone ate it, including seconds, and no one complained about the green stuff in it. The flavors were amazing, especially with a little feta. Yum!
It was ok. Kind of ordinary. I would make again - but only as a weeknight dinner with the family. I would add even more basil and maybe even more lemon.
Light and refreshing.
Good but pretty plain. I'd probably add something more to it next time.
A little bland,
This is very good. I love the marriage of all the flavors. This is superb with the Blackened Chicken.
very fresh, light and perfect with the shrimp I made. I may have added a little too much salt but it was very good regardless.
