Lightweight and fresh! Loved all the different flavors, especially the lime. Paired this with the naan dippers recipe and was very pleased. Will make again!

The original recipe looked great but we made our own variation, which, i think, tackles the problems i saw in some of the comments, of there being a lack of flavour. That is why i gave the original recipe a 4 star rating, and not a 5. We took this a step further by marinating some raw salmon in the lime juice with chopped red onions for 15-20mins in the fridge - for those that don't know, the citric acid from the lime cooks the salmon. We then mixed the rest of the ingredients (chopped tomato, avocado and fresh coriander, and some capers because they're great) with the cooked pasta, we used Conchiglie pasta. The end result was delicious, and i would definitely do it again.

Wow I think I overdid it on the lime. Thought this looked really yummy, but it turned out quite the opposite. At least my housemates got a laugh out of it. Was an easy one to make though

I'm surprised about many of the previous comments that say that the recipe is bland or tasteless. I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian but felt that the meal was tasty and fresh. Aside from the fact that our store cupboard only had non-wholemeal linguine, we stuck to the recipe. Would definitely do this again

Cooked the onion and tomatoes, used fusilli instead if linguine, and served with vegan sausages. Delicious!

I wouldn't have this again. Despite it being very easy to make it lacked in flavour.

I thought it was nice and very quick to make. I would say it needs something to make it a bit more interesting like roasting the vegetables and adding chili flakes. This would make a great side as a pasta salad by using fusilli instead of linguine - it's lovely and fresh would be good at BBQ's

After reading the comments below, I decided to modify the recipe slightly as I thought a Mexican pasta dish would have super potential! I roasted the tomatoes and red onions and mixed the roasted veg in with the pasta and other ingredients with a blob of enchilada sauce. It was lush and so filling! Really liked the avocado on the top also.

That's a great idea I hadn't thought of that! Will try that next time

It's like deconstructed guacamole on pasta. Easy I guess, but not great.
