Good but nothing special.

I had to give this only 4 stars because I changed the recipe a lot, based on reviewers suggestions. Too many reviewers commented on the chicken being overdone, so my solution was to grill the chicken (I undercooked it slightly) then I chopped it up and added it into the mix at the end with the tomatoes and peas. I also slightly undercooked my pasta (whole wheat) and added that into the sauce before I added in the tomatoes, onions and chicken. This helped the pasta to really take on the flavors of the sauce, and helped to thicken the sauce. Everyone had seconds!

Excellent. I had to leave out the green onions and substitute penne for fettucini but still very good. I pre-cooked the chicken and started at "add chicken broth".

The sauce was okay: alittle bland for my taste but just right for my husband. The sauce was very thin so I used cornstarch and water to thicken it. I don't think I'll be making it again.

Wow. Amazing! I made this without the chicken, because I am a "pocketbook vegetarian" these days and meat is a rare treat. Excellent as written--no thickening needed. Did you let it cook down for 15 minutes as recommended? This concentrates the favors--thickening it would have made it too dry as well as blander. The second time I made this, I didn't have any white wine, so I substituted sweet white vermouth. It's cheap, but difficult to find in the States and not very popular, so I don't know how many of you have any, but if you do, try it! The spices in the vermouth subtly enhanced the flavor of this dish to whole new levels. Wowza!

This recipe is a nice new flavor from the cream sauces. I loved the fresh tomatoes. I didn't have the right type of noodles, so I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles and they worked fine. I did add some thickening like was recommended by other reviewers and that was a must.

This recipe was pretty good. I use only whole wheat pasta and was out of fettuccini, and I used shells instead. I was worried about this because I thought the sauce would be too thin to hang onto the shells. But I was wrong, the sauce actually filled each shell like little cups. It was good and seemed very light and fresh, sort of like a vegetable soup with pasta in it. The sauce was really thin. Next time I will add more cayenne.

This was great! A nice change from heavy, cream sauces. Used 1lb. of linguine and added about a 1/2c of mozzarella to the mix. Sauce was just right and everything stuck to the noodles no problem.

Although the flavor was pretty good, the brothy sauce didn't stay on the pasta, just pooled on the plate, and the veggies didn't stay on the pasta because of the thin sauce. This made it seem like having plain pasta.

This is delicious! I've made it twice now, and the second time I made a few changes. I added a small can of sliced black olives, and instead of the peas I used green peppers.
