  Fantastic! I needed a quick meal from what we had in the fridge and this fit the bill and it was quick and very tasty. For a little colour and nutrition I think I will add some peas next time.

  Lovely! Quick and easy supper. I was also using up leftover smoked salmon, I used creme fraiche and also added a handful of frozen peas (chucked in with the boiling pasta towards the end of cooking) to give colour (my chives being under 6" of snow) at Joanne's suggestion

  Perfect! Really quick and surprisingly easy. I also added the peas (at Joanne's suggestion) and some broad beans to use them up! It was delicious!

  Really easy and quick, q naughty though with all the cream & cheese... Added some broccoli to the pasta whilst it boiled to ease my guilt!

  Nice, quick and easy meal. Added peas as per suggestions and they worked well. It's missing a little bit of oomph for me, to take it to a five star meal - I've had a similar recipe with some wasabi paste which was stunning, hence the four stars.

  This is a fab recipe, and really fast to prepare/cook. I of course changed it a tiny bit - two cloves of garlic, added the peas too, and pepper. However I used coft cheese instead of cream and PecoriniRomano instead of Parmesan as it is slightly cheaper and more genuine southern Italian hard cheese used for pasta (apparently). Really tasty and really quick - like 10mins start to eating. Just fab!

  Very good simple meal for two, but very very rich! Next time Ii might try yoghurt, sour cream or even just 1/4 or 1/2 less cream. It would also be lovely with a green veg tossed through, e.g., baby spinach or rocket. Yum!

  Every time I make this I'm surprised just how yummy it is despite being so simple. And it's even more surprising given that I replace the cream with lite sour cream and leave out the cheese. I still think it tastes great and it's much less fat.
