I was half watching/listening to what Giada was doing and figured it was easy enough to replicate. I made two batches in a mini food processor and the key is blending the ingredients consistently and mixing it well. My first batch tasted a little bit too much oil in it. The 2nd batch I ended up adding a little bit more basil and lemon to dilute the oily part. I made this dish for Mother's Day dinner and it was AMAZING and super easy! Everyone asked me for the recipe, it is that delish.

This was very good. A little tangy from the olives, sweet from the tomatoes and acidic from the lemon. The flavors balanced each other out. I ended up using almost 2 laddles of pasta water at the end because I used whole wheat pasta and it took more liquid to make it the right consistency.

This was very easy and very good. I used the wrong type of olives (spanish and it was still good. My husband loved it. The directions don't tell you what to do with the pasta water, so I read some of the reviews and found the answer. Add a little water to the finished dish to make it all come together. I added a little at a time because it shouldn't be swimming in the water.

I wasn't impressed with the recipe, all I could taste was oil, basil and lemon, seemed everything else in it was drowned out. Followed it to the letter. Cut down on the amount of the above stated would help a lot.

I love the combo of flavors and it is really easy to make. Great as a standalone dish or a side with chicken, fish, turkey or pork.

She added the pasta water at the end, a ladleful at a time, tossing after each, to reach the right consistency, not too wet!

It was great! I read the other comments about it being too lemony and bitter. I got the pitted olives from Trader Joe's. It wasn't tangy at all. I wish I saved the can so i can tell you exactly what it says but it didn't taste like olives you would find in a jar.

Outstanding! Delish raw sauce packed with flavor! I think quite possibly some of the "bitter tasting" reviews on here may be because they got some of the bitter pith in with their lemon zest because this was not bitter at all. Tangy is a better description and very fresh tasting. My husband doesn't like too much lemon and he loved this. Nice at room temperature. A great picnic pasta.
