Apr 7, 2004 Very fresh taste, simple and quick side dish, would go with almost anything. We had it with pork chops. Love the parsley, lemon, cheese combination. Thanks for sharing a quick one. Update May 21/04 : made it tonight with fresh from the garden oregano and parsley, and fresh smashed garlic, exceptionally good!! Try it, you'll love it. Here I am again, lovely pasta, had to use cheddar cheese, it worked just fine! delicious!!

Tasty, quick, easy! What more could you want? How about a great foundation for lots of variations? I followed the recipe, except for the type of pasta used. Yum!!! This would be great with any sort of pasta and I'm looking forward to trying other fresh and dried herb combinations in the future. I'll bet it would even be great on steamed red potatoes. An essential to this recipe is the lemon juice, which acts as a flavor enhancer, so don't even think of leaving that out or substituting.

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.

<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
