Light and refreshing, with the wonderful flavors and preparation for pasta that I grew up with and love. I don't always use lemon juice, but it is SO nice here. I used fresh basil rather than dried and a little minced garlic. Perfectly flavored and perfectly "springlike." Served this with "Pork Tenderloin Diane" and "Asparagus with Garlic and Onions," recipes also from this site. This was an ideal, 5-star dinner to welcome the approach of spring.

Needed a quick side dish for a grocery store rotisserie chicken, and this looked great. I used butter instead of oil because.. well, butter is better than oil in everything. Didn't have straight basil, used italian seasoning instead. So good - oh, used bow-tie pasta to get the kids to eat it and they went nuts. NUTS.

This didn't do a thing for me.I used roasted garlic olive oil. But I think butter would give it an improved flavor. It was better after Parm cheese was added.

this was a great idea. I used no egg noodles. I made salmon and haddock, this went well, with no cholesterol, a healthy filling side dish to a meal. I added lemon pepper and a dash o parmesan.

This is a delicious recipe. But, it has not enough flavor. I added a little newman's own ceaser salad dressing and it was super good.

As others have said, this is a really nice when served under chicken, but it is a bit bland on its own. I wanted it for lunch the day after making the recipe as written, so to give it that "something extra" I added garlic, some sun-dried tomatoes I had to use up, and some parmesan cheese. those additions made it a great light lunch. thanks for sharing this one!
