    Quick and easy to make. A bit lacking in flavour for me.

    what a great recipe - quick, dead easy and really tasty. It's also quite easy to add your own personal twist; I will add a little bit of red chillies next time.

    I used Spinach Trottole pasta and I added cooked chicken it was truly delicious. I served it with garlic bread and salad. Im pleased to have found this recipe it was simple, quick, looks great on a plate and the most important bit is its so tasty.

    I made this last night. Very quick to make and a simple recipe. It's quite tasty and as others have suggested I added more garlic and lemon juice which certainly added to the flavour. I will make it again but will tweak it with the addition of some chestnut mushrooms and cube de pancetta. I think that the mushrooms in particular will compliment the flavours.
