This was a nice recipe that I served as a side dish. I followed the directions and the taste was good, but it wound up getting really dried out before I served it, even after I added the reserved water. I poured in some milk and that helped tremendously. I also added a little bit of garlic powder and carrots. All around, it was a nice side and we will make it again.

This was a lovely light side dish Dreamer. It was really quick and easy to put together. I enjoyed the addition of the frozen peas and the slivers of baby parmesan. The flavors worked really well with the pasta. I found the olive oil to be the perdominent flavor, next time I would use less. Thank you for sharing this tasty dish.

Good, quick and easy side dish. I followed the recipe as written but used a can of peas (I don't care for frozen peas and didn't have any fresh). Next time I think I would use butter instead of olive oil though.
