  • “Didn’t quite understand the pasta cooking method. The directions made it sound like you simply drop it and it’s done. I still had to cook my angel hair pasta on a rolling boil for about 8 minutes after doing thw boil –> 15 minutes simmer –> boil thing. Decent recipe though.”

  • “This was excellent! The method for cooking the vegetables and then adding the pasta is one that I will use since it works out so well. I used lantern shaped pasta and chopped up broccoli and fresh mushrooms for the vegetables, which I doubled. I love meatless meals and this was a perfect choice! Thanks so much for posting!!”

  • “Simple and wonderful!!I used linguine and added Chili’s Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp (Recipe #76470) on top and me and my pregnant significant other couldn’t stop eating it!For the vegetables, I used frozen mixed vegetables and the recipe come out perfect.Thank you John for a great recipe!!”

  • “Not sure how effective the pasta method was because I didn’t try it without the sauce.Good taste and pretty simple!”

  • “Excellent recp. Very good, I loved the prep directions on the water and intend to use them for pretty much all pasta cooking (with slight variatons depending).”

  • “This one is a keeper!Both for the pasta preparation and for the sauce.It is simple and sooo very good.This was a spur of the moment thing for me to make so I didn’t have veggies or flakes to add, but it was great without.”

  • “I am going through a bit of a butter sauce phase so I enjoyed the opportunity to make this. The olive oil stops the butter sauce from burning.Don’t add salt if your butter is salted.Good lunch dish and it was also popular with my 3 year old.”
