Flavor was a bit too strong for me, so I added a little butter and it was amazing!

Very Fresh Flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this was a great recipe and also very easy to make. I added mushrooms and a little bit more oil to the garlic &... crushed red pepper. I also added a little butter to the pasta after I drained it. I think the lemon with the pasta made the dish taste very fresh. I will definitely make this again. Thanks again for a winner recipe.Read more

Great taste, made a few tweaks
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Instead of grilling the chicken, I sauteed it with the garlic and red pepper flakes, then added the pasta and instead of the... final three tablespoons of olive oil, used 3 T of heavy cream. My step-daughter and my husband both loved it. Next time, I think I am going to try to add a bag of spinach at the end and saute some mushrooms with the chicken for a little different taste. Loved the intense lemon flavor.Read more
