    Very Good
    A very easy recipe. I made with whole wheat pasta. My whole family enjoyed but agreed it needed a bit more "spice" - 1/23/12

    Bad
    Sounded great, but the flavor just wasn't there. Served it with Parmesan couscous, which my family said was the only thing that saved it. If I were to make it again, I would probably double the garlic, basil, seasoning and lemon juice. - 7/10/11
