Reviews
“This is a nice and easy recpie, but we found it a little bland.Added some bacon bits at the table and it helped a little.I think maybe this just isn’t our taste, but it is a well written recipe and I encourage others to try it!”
“This has a light and refreshing taste, and a pretty appearance as well.I used more asparagus and less pasta, but otherwise made this just as written (although I probably used more pepper – I didn’t measure).I went the bowtie route since I was out of penne.This looked and tasted like Spring to me.:) Thank you.”
