The lemons I used were very large, so I only used two, given the comments about the prominence of lemon. I didn't add the fresh lemon to the pasta at the end. This was very good -- my family loved it. I'm glad I didn't use three lemons, though, as the lemon taste would have been overpowering. I loved the different textures and flavors that played throughout--the tart note of lemon, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the peppery arugula, and the creamy sauce. I doubled the parmesan. This is a very nice spring and summer dish. I will make it again, but will cut back on the lemon a bit, and may add butter to the cream mixture so that it is more like an alfredo sauce. I served it with the tri-berry muffins from her Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook (where the lemon fusilli recipe is also published, sans broccoli. Ina's my favorite chef.

I used spinach - 1 cup cream and 1 cup whole milk....and then at the end...ground fresh nutmeg... a great low fat addition (you can use qunoia pasta as an additional low fat - addition.

The lemon really makes this dish... Although I didn't boil the broccoli, instead I sauted the broccoli and tomatoes in a little olive oil and garlic for like two minutes

Good recipe but nothing over the top about it. It is a nice change of pace in my new vegetarian diet.

I love most of Ina Garten's recipe but this one was just too much. It was good but the lemon and lemon zest was too overpowering. Next time, I would like to decrease both by half and decrease the baby arugula by half so the bitterness doesn't overpower the dish.

This was pretty tasty! The only thing I didn't like is how many pots you need to make it! I took this dish to a potluck, and by the time I got there and we started eating, it had gotten cold, but it was STILL really good, so that's definitely a plus!

This has become a family favorite. The cream and garlic prevent the acid from the lemons and tomatoes from being overwhelming. It actually makes the tomatoes sweeter. I sometimes add fresh basil leaves or grilled chicken. I got my recipe from the cookbook and there is no broccoli in that version!
