    I added a little bit of white wine to the olive oil/garlic/onion and it was DELICIOUS!!!! We have leftovers that I froze so we can pull it out for a fabulous meal at any time. Thank you! :) - 4/27/08

    It was great - and I added frozen petite peas since I couldn't find fresh ones. Used penne pasta. Also added some zucchini & chopped sugar snap peas... Yummy! - 9/4/10

    Really good - makes a lot! We actually got close to 5 servings out of it. The only change I made was adding a clove of garlic in with the onion. Will definitely make again! - 6/8/11

    I loved this. I did not have any peas, but it was great. I used whole wheat penne pasta, and now I can't wait to eat the leftovers! - 2/16/09

    Delicious! Light and satisfying. My boyfriend grilled chicken with Italian seasoning and McCormick Grill Seasoning to serve on the side. I packed each one of us leftovers for lunch. - 4/3/08

    Wonderful and easy! I added garlic, tuna and organic sweet butter... with some shittake shrooms and whole wheat penne pasta and it was delicious! I used frozen organic peas, and I didnt have any cheese or parsley but it was still great. SOOOOO hard to mess up! - 2/29/08

    I added a little minced garlic when I sauteed the onions. Red and yellow peppers added a lot, too. Finally, I sauteed some frozen shrimp in a little olive oil (and a little garlic) and added it to the dish. It was a great combination of flavors. - 2/28/08
