    I have not made this so will not rate it. I would be nice if everyone would do this as well.Some did comment but not rate wiich is fine, but to give something a one star having not made it is totallly humilitating for the person who posted it.

    If you have made it you have the right to grade it. - 10/21/07

    I only used 1/4 cup of olive oil and that was plenty. My family really enjoyed it. - 10/21/07

    I modified. I cut the oil to a half cup, vinegar to a quarter. I used farfelle noodles (bow tie). The general concept is great, as it was is a little too much for me though. Thank you for sharing, I will make this again! - 9/15/10

    I made this recipe with 1/2 C olive oil and 1 C cheese. I added red peppers to add some beautiful color. Also used whole grain pasta instead of egg noodles. This reduced the calories and was still delicious. - 1/27/08

    My fellow teacher made this recipe and brought it to school to share with me. It was very good, but we each ate only half a serving due to the higer calories and still were plenty full. - 2/19/10

    I also served this nice and warm; it's like a Chicken Alfredo; but 'not quite'. Hot or cold, this is great! - 2/1/08

    Good recipe but I cut the oil to 1/4 cup. 1 cup seemed like way too much oil. I usually make a new recipe as written then make adjustments the next time. But I felt it had too much oil, so cut it when I made it the first time. Was still very good. - 9/22/19
