Yummy! I used 1/2 a pound of pasta, with all the sauce. I realized halfway into this dish that I was out of basil, so I had to substitute thyme instead. Very good!

It actually deserves a 4.5. The pasta was a touch dry. I cut the dried basil to 1 teaspoon. I substituted 1 teaspoon lemon pepper for the ground black pepper (as suggested by others), added 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/3 cup parmesan. Great side dish for the chicken we had for dinner.

I made this as a side dish for the Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls also from this site submitted by Chompy. The only thing I added was Lemon Pepper and I used whole wheat thin spaghetti. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I think I'd like to try and add some grilled summer squash and zucchini. There was a subtle lemon flavor which my family appreciated. A great start for a variety of different dishes. Thanks Jane!

This was really quite tasty even though at first I had my doubts. I served it hot. I did add some garlic salt (about 1/2 tsp. for 2 servings). Served with some pork tenderloins & a salad.

I made this for me and my boys for lunch and what a hit! My picky 3-1/2 year old even went back for seconds! I cut the pasta to a 1/2 lb of fettuccine because it was what I had on hand. I kept all the other measurements the same and it had the perfect flavor. I did use lemon pepper in place of the regular pepper per previous reviewers and added a dash of garlic and herb seasoning. Next time I'm going to add a clove of garlic but otherwise make it the same. Thank you Jane, this was a hit!

This was just too bland. I only used a 1/4 of the ingredients because I was cooking for two, and wound up throwing out half of it. I might try this again but only with modifications.

I had to give this 3*s because as written, it was pretty bland. I scaled the recipe down to 2 servings (just me for lunch), decreasing the pasta & I used an olive oil pressed w/ lemons. Took I'm Nuts Too's suggestion of using Mrs. Dash Tomato, Basil & Garlic seasoning instead of basil & topped it w/ parmesan cheese but it was still pretty bland so I added some lemon pepper as well as a bit of season-all salt. It was much improved but still only 4*s. It wsa good for lunch & it would make a good side pasta for many dishes....thanks Jane!

Very good. Would be better as a side dish than a main dish, I think. Although, it would be great for a summer entree as it is nice and light tasting. I doubled the amount of sauce to put on the pasta, and served with parmasean. I also used lemon pepper instead of normal pepper, as others have suggested. It gave it more of a punch.
