This is a great recipe if you forgot to go grocery shopping before a holiday weekend, and all the stores are closed...*ahem* I didn't have any broccoli or parmesan cheese, so I had to do without. It tasted really good, and had nice, subtle flavor.

I've never heard the dinner table so quiet. My boys can be pretty picky and they devoured this. My husband loves lots of flavor loved this recipe!!! It has become part of our regular rotaion of meals.

Needed more spices. I also didn't like the flavor of cooking in broth.

Boiling the pasta in the chicken broth really gave this a good flavor. I used a bag of mixed frozen vegetables and it was still yummy.

As stated by others, this is a refreshing option for pasta lovers. This dish is light and everyone in my family enjoyed it, which is a rare thing.

I was a little leary about only cooking the pasta for 5 minutes. But that's what I did 5 minutes from the broth boiling (I used chicken broth) I then poured the whole thine it into my pan of broccoli and carrots, including my galic which I had minced. After adding the peas I let that coof for 10 mins, added my parm cheese - and wow! This was a hit with the whole family. A new favorite!

This was ok. I followed the recipe to a "t" but felt it was lacking something because it tasted kind of blah. I'll have to see if my husband can spice it up a bit, he's a wiz with sauces and spices.

My husband especially like this dish. I added a bit of pesto sauce at the end because I had it on hand. I also added red pepper flakes for some heat. Overall, pretty tasty!

This is a very tasty dish with a few tweaks, First, in response to a prior reviewer who said theirs had a weird after-taste, make sure you use low sodium organic vegetable broth...do NOT use he instant, those always taste metallic (and are way too high sodium!). My veggies of choice were carrots, red pepper, mushrooms and broccolil. I sauteed these (with about 4 garlic cloves) in olive oil while the pasta cooked in the broth. I made sure the veggies still had some crispness, then added them to the pasta once it was done. I cooked a minute or two longer, adding the frozen peas and cheese. Cooking it this way left the veggies with still ome firmness. I used all organic ingredients....yummy!

I didn't think this was great. It sounded very good, but it had little flavor. My kids asked that this one be retired and not made again.

Great recipe for pasta w/o using a heavy sauce! I didn't have broccoli so used fresh asparagus instead-will certainly make this again!

This was a good recipe. I'm only giving it 4 stars, because I had to do a fair bit of tweaking by taste to make it a tasty dish. A great base, but a little off. Good thing it is open for tweaking in any direction. I had to add 2x the vegetable broth, and simmered the complete dish for twice the amount of time at the end for the pasta to be edible. I used whole wheat penne, used TWO big garlic cloves, and left out the cheese, making it a delicious vegan dinner, with a bit of tweaking on the flavor.

This is a really great, simple, base recipe. I whipped this up for lunch today for me and my son (10 months), and it's especially nice to find something that we can both eat. I really like that everything is used (no water to dump out), and next time I think I might just mince the garlic and keep it in.

Note: Never ever half-cook pasta. Mine never cooked all the way through so if you are attempting this recipe, cook your pasta ALL the way through to you test and just toss it with the veggies. Add olive oil or cream so it's not so... ehem... dry. Good luck!
