    Overall, this was just ok. It sounded so fantastic. I did kick it up with some hot pepper flakes but it just didn't have the overall impact I had hoped for. Not bad, but not something my husband would ask for again.

    This was so so for us. I followed the recipe and both my husband and I thought it was just "all right". I got up and got out the red pepper flakes, which gave the dish more flavor.

    I made this, and it is very good! Anyone who criticizes this recipe is just jealous because they must not look as good as Giada does while they are making it - come on, if you have ever cooked anything beyond frozen pizza you would know that adding pasta water to recipes is "normale". This is a dish that compliments the main course, it is not designed to over power. How anyone could possible be so nasty where a lovely and talented women who is an excellent role model like Giada is concerned is beyond comprehension. Go find someone else to berate.

    As an experienced cook and fan of Giada's show, I was extremely disappointed with this recipe. I followed it as instructed, but it was rather bland and very dry. I live in Northern CA and have access to top quality ingredients, so I had no problem with what I was working with.

    I don't think I should have to add "pasta water" to enhance a sauce.

    Not what I would expect from Giada.

    I made this recipe twice now, both times with very minor variations from the original (substituting what I had on hand and both times it turned out delicious. I used sweet italian sausage instead of hot both times and whole wheat linguine 1st time/ egg parpadelle pasta 2nd time. I also substituted a mix of different cheeses (asiago/gruyere/parmesan instead of romano. In response to comments about dryness...simply add as more pasta water, enough to make the recipe to your liking. This is a simple, quick and light pasta dish, perfect for a busy night- but still turns out tasting like you put in all the effort!

    Great combination of flavors. I have never liked green peas and this is the first time I have been able to eat and truly enjoy them.. There is a potential for it to be dry...but if you add the water in increments it seems to help.

    Regardless...great flavor and when you calculate howmuch the ingredients cost...it was a great meal that would have been substantially more for a family of four at a restaurant.

    This was a super fast and easy dish to make...since I was making this only for hubby and I we just used half the pasta and only about a 1/4 cup of pea's.

    For everyone complaining about dryness and lack of flavor then you must not be very good at following directions because it wasn't dry nor did it lack flavor.

    The basil really mixes well with the pea's and I'm not a huge fan of pea's but the flavors combined with everything else was delicious!!!

    This will be a new staple in our house and the cost to make it is reasonable considering we would have lunch the next day

    I tweaked this around - I used whole wheat pasta, fat free ricotta and turkey sausage to make it healthier. It was absolutely amazing. It was a little dry, but I didn't add as much cooking water, as I was afraid it would be watery. Next time, I'll use more. It was super easy and simple to make. You can make the sauce in the amount of time it takes for the pasta to cook. Rachael Ray - here's a 15 minute meal for you! :
