    • Reviews

  • “I used the cream sauce recipe for 16 oz. of the linguine and doubled the ham. Also used ~cbw~’s milk/oil tip. This was so good and so cheap!”

  • “This was super quick and easy.However it gave the feeling of a more complicated dish.I found the need to add salt and pepper, but otherwise I left it alone.”

  • “I liked this — kind of reminiscent of carbonara only not as rich and an easier dish to make.My 16 year old was crazy about it, my husband thought it too bland.A 4 rating reflects the concensus of opinions.Nice dish.”

  • “Oh, I loved this. I happened to have leftovers that matched the ingredients (reg. spaghetti noodles, though). The kids were lukewarm on it, but I thought it was quite elegant.”

  • “Very easy and quite tasty!I did make a few changes and those were to use angel hair pasta(all plain, no spinach) instead of linguine, omitted the mushrooms, and substituted a milk/oil mixture(3 tbsp oil and enough milk to equal 1 cup) for the light cream.It still turned out really good!Thanks for posting, RecipeNut!”
