This is a winner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It is not often that I throw a recipe right into the regular rotation (there arent many in there), but this one is definitely... going in there. I did it without any pasta, but I can see why it would be really good with some pasta. It certainly works without though. I highly recommend this recipe, its an added bonus that its healthy too.

Delicious, then not.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made this dish and it was absolutely delicious....for the first night. I'm a college student and I usually cook a meal on... Monday nights and reheat the leftovers for dinner the rest of the week. Like I said, Monday, it was very flavorful. But when I reheated it the next two nights, it was horrible. The textures were not the same and the flavor had changed a bit too. I recommend making it and eating all of it that night!Read more

I made this dish and doubled the basil, let everything cool to room temp and tossed with cold angel hair pasta, refrigerated,... and then served as a cold pasta salad. I received raves and requests for the recipe.Read more

Holy Cow! This is awesome!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the 1st time and was blown away! I accidentally added parsley instead of basil (sprinkled in basil... afterwards) and it was so delicious! Surprisingly flavorful for such a quick and easy dish- I tossed it into some whole wheat pasta and sprinkled with Parmesan- It tasted like a healthy shrimp scampi- My husband usually makes scampi and its LOADED with butter :O) Not missing out on anything with this healthy version!
