    After reading the review, I too can not understand the bad ratings. I did not think it was bland at all, however I did use all organic ingredients which I think brings out and enhances the flavors 10 times more in food! I normally do not follow things to a T, I mean come on a recipe is a guide line when it comes to a dish like this salt, peper & garlic to your own tasting and likes! Since I do have a carnivor husband I did add a little panchetta to this dish and it was great....suggestions lemon pepper chicken I am sure that would taste excellent as well...Giada did say that this was a light summer dish

    This dish was a hit at my house. Easy to make, quick, light and TONS of flavor!!! I've been slow to switch to the whole-wheat pasta and after this dish I can imagine making other pasta dishes with whole wheat. The ricotta makes it creamy, you'll never miss the extra calories of cream!! I added some plain grilled chicken for some protein. The lemon zest adds a great surprise finish to the dish. This will definately be in regular rotation at our house.

    The proportions given here cannot be the same as used on the show. Using these proportions, there is too much pasta and not enough garlic, beans, or tomatoes. The recipe was very bland. It doesn't even look like the one made during the show. I would advise decreasing the pasta to vegetables ratio, while keeping the cheese and water the same.

    This is a good side dish. Yes, it was bland, but I added parmesan cheese and it worked. The colors of the green beans and the tomatoes made it a pretty presentation. This would make a good pot luck dish because it's quick and easy. Just don't forget to add the parmesan cheese. I would make this again.

    Made this for my fiance and we liked it okay, but we definitely won't make it again.

    I'm not usually a fan of whole wheat pasta but this was really good! Obviously I can't rate it a 5 star (way too healthy!:, but it was simple and a great change!

    This looked so easy to make. But, I found it a little hard...trying to mix the ricotta with dry and sticky linguine. It did give me a new way to fix green beans! I loved the flavor of the beans!

    Although I found this an easy and quick dish to prepare, I also found it rather flavorless and really sticky....probably will not try it again.

    Very easy to make and is a great way to use fresh veggies from my garden. Loved the creaminess of the low-fat ricotta and that it hardly added any extra fat or calories. I've never used it before, so this was a great find and will use it in other recipies. I didn't have the lemon zest so I used lemon pepper, which worked great. You really need the lemon flavor to give it some zing. I also added fresh basil (which I love, which added great flavor. I can see many other ways to change up this recipe and make it your own - use snap peas instead of beans, or add a little gouda cheese on top to give it a kick. Sun-dried tomatoes or a little sun-dried tomato pesto in this would be awesome too....
