Good. A little strong/heavy in flavor but nice enough for company.

Great!! Made a few changes - used olive oil instead of butter, doubled the amount of crushed garlic, and added the whole jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Followed others suggestion and used chicken breast in lieu of mushrooms.

This was terrific....one of my favorite pasta dishes so far. We loved the tanginess from the artichokes and I'm a huge sun-dried tomato fan. I bought a large jar from Costco since the smaller jars at the grocery stores are expensive. I served this with the BLT salad (on this site) and garlic bread. So yummy! Thanks a bunch.

Truely an excellent pasta dish.The only change i made to this recipe was to use one pound of penne pasta instead of the half pound of fettucini it called for. It was perfect, I think a half a pound of pasta would have made the pasta dish too overwhelming.

Just terrific! If you want to double the recipe, use 16 oz. pasta and 8 tbsp. butter and keep everything else the same. Definitely use the fresh tomato garnish cause it really adds to the color and flavor. A+++! Thank you, Carrie.

Oh my this was soooo good. I didn't have the olives so had to omit them but know they would be great. I didn't have the white wine so used white wine vinegar diluted with a little water. I was afraid it might not work but it was fantastic. I'm having this one many times for sure.

We loved the flavors in this! Only thing I changed was I added some sauted chicken strips, adding a little chicken broth and red pepper, and since I didn't have any olives, I left those out. Perfect, easy summer supper!

What a great mix of ingredients! Not a big fan of cooked olives but I tried it anyhow- tasted great in the dish! Omitted the tomatoes. I made this recipe twice with chicken, next time I'll try shrimp. Added maybe a 1/4 cup heavy cream and a little cornstarch to thicken it up the first time- made an excellent creamy sauce.

This has a strong taste. My husband liked it a bit more than I did as he likes sour-like flavors. I left out the onion, olives & chopped fresh tomato. I used whole wheat fettucini, 2 Tbsp. butter & 2 Tbsp. olive oil instead of just butter, and only 1/2 a tsp. of black pepper; I also added some slivered pre-cooked chicken. Also I served the pasta, sauce, & parmesan separately at the table as some family members prefer less cheese.

This was good with very strong flavors. Will make again and next time add some shrimp. I did find directions a little unclear. I didn't know whether or not to add the marinade from the artichokes and the oil from the tomatoes. I added about half of the marinade from artichokes and thought it was a little overpowering to the dish.

2/24 I prepared this today and I put it in my 'active list'. The whole family loved it. The only change I made is I omitted the olives (I love olives but not in recipes) Very good, very easy- a keeper thanks, Carrie.

This is unbelievably delicious! With the exception of slicing up some fresh mushrooms, this required no effort besides opening a few jars of artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes. It was ready in no time and got rave reviews! My husband was very impressed although my children didn't care for it. Oh well, I will definately make it again anyway! Thanks for the great recipe!!

Excellent recipe. My guests were very impressed and requested a copy so they could make it at home. The combination of ingredients complimented each other nicely. Since I was serving a separate chicken dish, I did not add any type of meat to this recipe but I could imagine it being very good with some grilled chicken or cooked shrimp tossed in. I did add a handful of toasted pine nuts to add a little crunch. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks for the recipe!

The best part about this recipe is the fact that most of it is opening jars and dumping them in! The outcome was a delicious, colorful pasta that was full of flavor. My very picky husband had seconds. I omitted the ripe tomato garnish - it was acidic enough.

This was very good. I am not a fan of mushrooms or olives so I left those out. I used sun dried tomatoes from a bag, rather than oil packed.. so much cheaper. All you have to do is pour boiling water over them.. let sit for 10 minutes and you have perfectly pliable tomatoes. This was a nice change from the standard red sauce. The second day I had this, I added some grilled chicken breast.. even better.
