Did not love it, I did not use any nuts either.
I used what I thought was less than two inches of ginger and it seemed a little too overpowering. It is pretty spicy also and tastes like its missing something. I added basil and butter which helped a lot. I would not make this dish again. But it was pretty cheap at $15.00

My whole family loved this pasta dish, and the funny part is somehow I messed up and used parsley in place of cilantro.

This one's a family favorite! I substitute pecans for the macadamia nuts (they're too expensive for me and add seasoned chicken to make it more of a full meal. It's a perfect light tasting pasta for a spring or summer meal. Love it love it love it!

So nice to have pasta that isn't made with the same boring old pesto or red sauce! It's spicy, but not overpowering. The freshness of the lime and cilantro makes this a real stand out. When I have people over for a party, I put this out as part of the buffet and I get multiple requests for the recipe. I have also made this as a sit down meal by tossing in some grilled shrimp or chicken and also got rave reviews. If your tastes are a little more milquetoast, you may want to pass on this fresh, exciting dish.

This receipe is delicious! I used pine nuts because I did not have macadamia nuts and it was so good! My husband loved it as well. I love cilantro and I try to find all different kinds of recipes to use it in. Will definitely be making this again!

I often think of this recipe when I'm in the grocery store wondering what I could possible make for dinner. I'm not a serious cook by any means, but get really excited to find flavors I like that I can put together easily. I'm also a vegetarian so this is a great main dish. I omitted ginger because I didn't have any on hand but doubled the red pepper. It's VERY spicy but both my boyfriend and I love spice. I put in two limes as well. Used almonds instead because they were around. I don't mind the 'chunkiness' of the nuts if not fully processed into the pesto.. I put this over a lemon pepper pasta and the citrus really popped! I also diced some faux chicken into this dish which doesn't fool my boyfriend, but it doesn't bother him either. I think this would be delicious as a cold pasta salad too! Scarfing it down now and already planning the next time I'll make it!

Unlike a few other reviewers, I found this to be a great recipe that is fast, and can be frozen for use later. Make sure to use a good quality (not old, either EVOO or it might not taste quite right. We sometimes add shrimp to make it a main dish. Everyone loves this!
