This is great. I didn't have enough coriander so made it with basil which worked well. Coriander/cilantro would go well too. You definitely can't go wrong with Maggie and Simon :).

Really nice and easy :) I used penne pasta and chopped up some green onion instead of coriander leaves and it tasted great!
