I made this dish on the spur of the moment (I had all the ingredients). I only had sun-dried tomato basil spaghetti for the pasta. Everyone loved it. This will become a regular part of our weekly meals. Delicious.

Sounds wonderful! I will have to try and maybe add a little white wine

Wow! This is a keeper. My husband & I both enjoyed this dish very much. I took the advice of some of the people who commented on this recipe and took it easy with the lemon flavoring. I only used 2 Tbls. Of fresh lemon juice. It was just enough. This dish is just full of flavor. Very, very good!

This was a nice dinner but it made more than enough for 2 servings. The pasta could be cut back to help that. I heeded others' warnings that there was too much lemon and I left the zest out completely and cut the lemon juice by half. My husband said he would not have wanted any more lemon, so that was a good amount of juice. I like that the pasta is added to the same pot to cook, saving on clean up. I added just a bit of cornstarch tot he finished dish to thicken the sauce. I used Kitchen Basics chicken broth - if you can find it, it is worth using here. Since the sauce is so basic, a hearty flavored broth makes all the difference. One of those new flavor boosters (Swanson?) may also be good here.

Too lemony and not much flavor. If I make this again I would omit the lemon juice and more spices. first time in a long time Mr. Food was not up to expectations. I would rate this a 3.

This was fantastic! I added an additional hot red pepper from our garden to the mix and my husband ooh ed and aah ed! I had a fresh made batch of saffron spaghetti and added this as well, and it was a splendid dinner. My husband and I are eating healthy and watching our calorie intake, but he had a nice sized plate, but had a hard time walking past the open pan on the stove. He said he couldn't look at it or he'd steal a bit more.

Just added to our list of Sunday dinners - which now extends well into 2014. As with all pasta dishes, in our household, this would be 4 servings with the addition of any sort of side dish. But that's ok by us!
