If there was a way to give negative stars I probably would. I followed the recipe (minus the extra pepper) exactly and it tasted like I was eating noodles. Noodles. That's it. No lemon flavour, no garlic, no basil. Nada.

I made this with dried spices, but otherwise followed the recipe (minus the lg amt of pepper). The kids loved it as the plainer the noodle the better. I found it very bland. Even parmesan didn't add much flair. I would try some garlic salt next time instead of clove.

I took the advice of others and cut way back on the pepper. Unfortunately, I didn't find this as enjoyable as I would have hoped. Sorry.

I omitted the parsley, and cut way back on the pepper. I also topped the pasta with some diced cherry tomatoes and a splash of white balsamic vinegar. This was very fresh tasting. Thanks!

This is verrry good, nice fresh taste, very simple and easy to make. I LOVE the added lemon, this would be delicious with spinach. I will make this again

This was such a tasty recipe! For a quick fix, I used it warm and placed steamed veggies and served with warm steak on top. My family loved it and the kids enjoyed something different than the average pasta sauce. I will definately be using this recipe a lot.

This was just ok,it definately wasn't worth 5 stars though.The papper was just too much,if I was to make this again I'd only add 1/2 Tsp pepper instead of the 1 1/2 Tbs called for.

Not bad for a quick side dish, but cut back on the pepper and lemon - once the pasta sits for a while they are very overpowering.

I forgot the butter, had to use dried herbs instead of fresh, and it was still DELICIOUS! I took one cook's review advice and used tsp's of pepper instead of Tbsp's -- good idea. How about cracked peppercorn melange for color, and maybe a Tbsp of balasamic in the last step for fun?

I tasted more pepper than anything. It was good, but too dry to eat as a side dish. I followed the recipe exactly, and I assume the sauce is supposed to soak into the pasta to give it its flavor, but it's hard to eat dry like that. I am going to try this pasta with alfredo sauce to see how it works.

My whole family LOVED this recipe! It was a bit peppery.. but we love pepper! I also marinated some diced tomatoes in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a teaspoon of sugar for a few hours. I then drained them and added them to salad before serving. It was delicious! I will definitely be making this salad again and again during the summer heat! Thank you for sharing! :)

There was obviously a mistake on the pepper part of the recipe. It should have read teaspoon, NOT tablespoon! I put half of what they called for and it was SO peppery we ended up throwing it away - which is too bad, because other than that it had a great flavor and was quick and easy to make. I just couldn't handle my lips burning after each bite from the pepper! I'll try it again!
