Nice enough, but a bit on the dry side. Tossing the cooked pasta with even one teaspoon of butter or olive oil would've helped, without adding on too many fat calories. A few herbs like basil, oregano and parsley would make this much more flavourful.

I make a dish similar to this quite often. I usually use fresh spinach and add toasted pine nuts, the pine nuts taste SOOO good with the sundried tomatoes, I highly recommend adding them.

Excellent! I used fresh spinach and noodles.

I loved this! I added some red pepper flakes and pine nuts as suggested by other reviewers. Delish! Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

Very good. I agree with other reviewers that maybe some red pepper flakes and/or pine nuts would be a nice addition to this dish. Simple and tasty. Thanks Dreamgodess Made for ZWT4.
