    It makes a TON of pasta (could feed 5-6 people. My husband and I both liked it a lot. I added a lot more parsley, about 1/2 tsp red pepper flake, 2 tbsp lemon juice and some pasta water. This recipe is a keeper!

    This recipe was super easy!! My picky kids even enjoyed it! I did take the advice of a previous review and added a little more lemon juice.

    Great easy recipe. I used whole wheat pasta and added sun dried tomatoes to the recipe. I also used extra garlic. My family loved this recipe.
