I used 10 oz. of pasta. I sauteed the garlic and added a thinly sliced onion to the garlic. I also added a small container of feta at the end. My husband said it was heavenly. LOL and he never saw the recipe so I guess it must be. :)

I was looking for something quick and easy with ingredients on hand. This fit the bill, although I did have to modify with canned tomatoes and no Tabasco. I used spinach from our garden and a little more pasta than the recipe calls for. It was just delicious! Perfect for a light summer dinner--thank you!!

Wasn't sure what to expect of this recipe. I made it because I was curious and it was relativly healthy. I think I will be eating this once a week now. Can't wait to try the leftovers tomorrow. Had to use canned petite dice tomatoes. Looking forward to my garden produce in a few months!

The lime and hot sauce in this were delicious - a very nice surprise!

This was delicious!! Thanks to other reviewers that mentioned canned tomatoes, which is what I had on hand. Even with using canned tomatoes, it was fabulous! I left out the lime/lemon because I wasn't sure I would care for it. I used garlic oil, so there was no raw garlic taste to it. Macaroni's used to serve a similar dish that I would order and enjoy; so I was very happy to find this recipe. I look forward to having fresh tomatoes to use in it. I think Roma tomatoes or the vine ripened cherry tomatoes would be the best bet for off season. Sharon123, thank you for sharing!
