    I backed off on some of the pasta and added extra veggies to lower the carbs - Nice and simple and delicious! Thanks for sharing! - 3/5/09

    Brilliant way to enjoy a favorite dense pasta of mine. The oil makes it filling, the lemon and basil make it special. I added extra snap peas 'cause I love them. Quick, easy, tasty recipe. Thank you! - 8/17/15
