  I made this for dinner today. I took a nice chicken breast cut it length-wise. Also used angel hair pasta (2 cups) it cooked quick & absorbed the flavors. Recommend it for all who are in a hurry & want something great to eat, - 1/7/09

  Overall very good. At first it was a bit bland, but with added garlic, onion, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, it was quite tasty. Next time, I think I'll make the liquid into a thicker sauce to pour over everything. It contained great flavor, it just wasn't used to its full potential. - 6/3/08

  I loved this, and I love that you can add any vegetables you want to make it yummy. I added yellow squash, asparagus, and carrots. It looked pretty and tasted wonderful. My husband walked into the house and said it smelled like a restaurant. With all of the added veggies, we have a ton of leftovers! - 7/8/09

  I made this last night and my husband and I both enjoyed it. Of course I can never leave a recipe alone so...I added garlic, shallots, 1/4 cup of white wine and 2 tablespoons of fat free sour cream. We thought the sour cream brought the sauce together. Yummy - 7/29/09

  This made a great lunch to take to work. I used some left over roasted red peppers instead of tomatoes. Plenty filling and didn't break the calorie bank. - 6/10/08

  This dish reminds me of one i have had for years. The pasta I use is Orzo (rice like pasta) and i cook shrimp instead of chicken. I sauce is a mix of minced garlic, lemon and lime juice then I saute the shrimp in the sauce. Both meals are super light and delicious! Adding cilantro is great too! - 7/19/09

  This dish definitely needs a spice make over! It's funny! I think most "dieters" are afraid of flavor because flavor means fat or high calorie! Experiment with spices! You can make ANYTHING taste great with spices, herbs and vegetables! SPICE IT UP MY SPARK PEOPLE! - 1/8/09

  I, too, added onion and garlic. Taking heed from MUDDER91, I used 1 1/2 cups dry whole wheat penne and it was still a lot of pasta. Next time I'll use much less pasta (I honestly can't believe I actually said that and meant it!). I also like the sun dried tomato idea! I LOVED this one!!! - 5/21/08

  I used 1/2 chicken breast for each of us and non fat feta (accidently! but it was great). This was a light very summery dish that did not weight me down like many pasta dishes do. My daughter called it a primavera! You really taste the food not any salt or seasonings. - 7/31/09

  I love this recipe! After reading all the previous comments, I threw into mine some artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers (as a substitute for the tomato). I also used portabello mushrooms. The one thing that I think I'll add next time to oomph the flavor up even more is some lemon juice/zest. - 1/17/10

  This was incredible! I added 5 medium cloves of garlic (chopped) with the chicken when I browned it. I also cut the stalks of asparagus into 3 pieces. I used a whole pound of chicken and the entire bunch of asparagus so I had to increase the other ingredients as well. We sprinkled the feta on top. - 3/8/10

  Great versatile recipe. Change pasta, spices/herbs, meats, veggies, cheese, etc. to what you have on hand--can even use rice, quinoa, etc. I do suggest adding onion, garlic, oregano, etc. though as this is a little bland. I always add a bit of nutmeg when I use feta--it just seems to go together. - 1/30/11

  My hubby isn't fond of full whole wheat pasta, so I always use half whole wheat and half regular. That does the trick for him. I also skip the salt in the cooking water but boost non salt seasonings in the sauce. Reducing the amount of cooking water saves energy. - 7/30/09
