I absolutely LOVE this recipe! It's so easy to make with ingredients that I usually have on hand. I didn't have any cream, so I just used 2% milk and I made a rue by adding flour to the butter/onion/garlic/mushroom mixture. It thickened up quite nicely ; Also, my 6-yr-old doesn't like shrimp, so I added in 1 chicken breast sliced (which I cooked up before I added the milk in ADDITION to some shrimp (for my husband and I. Everyone loved it!

*I also have to add that to prevent the milk from curdling, I just added the lemon afterwards - just a squeeze of lemon over top the pasta - it added a nice bright flavour. This will be on my menu plan at least once a month as an alternative to pasta night :

I made this for dinner the other night, and it was super fast and easy to make! My husband was VERY impressed, thinking I'd worked really hard on it. It was really delicious and even my very picky daughter asked for a second serving. I will definitely make this one again and again.

This recipe is delicious and I can't wait to make it for our next dinner party!
I'm always interested in other reviews. My rsponse to the complaints are as follows: Different palates respond differenly to various ingredients. if you don't like cayenne pepper, reduce it & add a little more italian seasoning. if it seems bland pick it up with a little more lemon juice & seasonings. Cooking requires tasting & altering recipes to suit your taste.

Fantastic, I have made this several times. First time with the shrimp other times I have added 1/2 shrimp 1/2 scallops. I was out of spinach and didn't want to go to the store just for that, I had some fresh green beans on hand so I cooked them and added to it instead worked out great,I have also added, zuchinni and yellow squash to it Saute up first. It is a recipe that you could do so much with.

I can't even explain! It was so good. I've had my third helping now 9:36pm est. My daughter 18yrs tell's me it's just like getting it from a restaurant. As far as slimming it down it might not work.But I hope your son in New York will find a way. If not that's ok I will have it more then now and again. Georgine

Of course this is very good, and very rich, and it came together very quickly. Now the trick is to find a way to slim it down. Not sure if subbing olive oil for the butter and half and half for the cream would work but might be worth a try. As it is I could only see making it on rare occasion, like when company comes....

I usually consider recipes as a guideline . But I did follow this one pretty closely except; instead of dried Italian seasoning I use fresh thyme, oregano, and rosemary and half & half instead of whipping cream ( which seemed to curdle with the lemon. Very bland. I attempted some of the suggestions by other reviewers. Removed the shrimp to added later after I fixed the sauce. Double then tripled the spinach, added turkey sausage, still very bland but, now with a distinct creamy sausage flavor. I realize that spinach and sausage are not a replacement for spices so I then added dried ginger, and fresh tomatoes. The dried ginger really brought the red pepper to the forefront. I looked up the recipe for Italian seasoning combinations varied but all most all had basil. I think the missing basil severely handicapped my dish. For such a rich dish especially with my cholesterol I need a better flavor. Too many other recipes out there, will not make this one again.

I used linguini instead of the penne and grated fresh parmesan on it. To say that this was ridiculously delicious would be an understatement! Paula has done it again. I would put this up against anything that Olive Garden or any other Italian restaurant put up. Will definitely be making this again.

SOOOOO GOOD! I basically used all the same ingredients, just a bit differently. Definitely had to add an extra clove of garlic. Only had a cup or so of cream so used that along with one lemon and the wine I had open was a Savignon Blanc. For the pasta I used Orchiette, perfect for this sauce. So, I worked with what I had and turned out to be great, maybe next time I will prepare better with the suggested ingredients. Make it, you will love it!!!!
