We really enjoyed this. Knowing that our family loves a lot of flavor, I added onion, salt, pepper, and garlic & herb seasoning. I also left out the lemon juice and added a tablespoon of butter. I didn't have any chicken, so I sliced up a large pork chop and it fed my family of 3 with plenty of left overs. Thanks so much!

I'm giving this 3 stars because it wasn't bad and has possibilities. I followed the recipe exactly and used fresh broccoli but found the dish bland and boring. Enjoyed it much more after adding some sauteed fresh tomato to it, plus salt and pepper.

A great recipe for a simple and delicious pasta. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. I made it just as directed and it loved it!

I added seasoned cooked chicken breast but it lacks some sauce to it. I'm going to try adding low fat Alfredo sauce.

This is very good. It has a mild taste and is open to modifications based on what you have in the fridge. Thanks for the great recipe....Katie
