The recipe was a good starting off point but after reading some of the other reviews, I decided I needed to add more flavor. I sauted the garlic with hot red pepper flakes and 2 anchovy filets. Also used 3 Tbs of chopped sun dried tomatoes in addition to the fresh tomatoes. Finished the dish with 2 tbs of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of pasta liquid and 1/2 chopped fresh parsley and served with crumbled goat cheese. It was WONDERFUL and will definitely make it again.

Followed the recipe. Too dry, and not enough seasoning. Just needed more of something.

We liked this. It was a great use of the chard in our garden. Based on other people complaining about a lack of flavor, I saved the garlic, chopped it, and added with the beans and tomatoes. I also added the juice of one lemon. Frankly, I'm not sure that it needed those extras; I think it would have had enough flavor as written.

Do not make this! I repeat don't do it. Usually my boyfriend and I love the food network recipes but this one was way off base. There was no flavor and we could hardly choke it down. I followed the recipe except I used more garlic and there was still no flavor. The bitterness of the greens totally overpowered the rest of the dish. Total miss.

Easy recipe that tasted really healthy and fresh! My husband who is a tough Sicilian to cook for loved it! He couldn't stop talking about it. Loved the healthy ingredients and we both loved the taste. Added red pepper flakes to serve. Will be making again!

This was the first recipe of Giada's that I didn't like. I can't really pinpoint what the problem was, but I served it to visiting in-laws and nobody liked it. Usually every pasta recipe of hers is perfect, but this one was just off somehow.

Loved this! Didn't have all the ingred., but was excited about the combination. I used garlic olive oil, so skipped the saute garlic part, I only had pinto beans, collard greens, grape tomatoes and bleu cheese, but made it with those and it was wonderful.(how much better will it be with the lemon? I will definately make again, but this time will use the proper ingred. if I can find.

Made a few adjustments to the recipe. I added more garlic and juice of one lemon. I also added some of the pasta water after adding the feta which gave it a creamier texture. The boyfriend loved it! I will absolutely be making this again.

I found this to be simply an "okay" dish. If I were to make it again I would use a lot more garlic and a lot more lemon zest, but we all have different tastes. I added some lemon juice, which helped improve it. The best thing I can say about it is that it is very easy to prepare.
